Hooded Murklings are a smaller breed of dragon and quite the shifty, cunning sort. Typically they are ambush predators, submerging themselves in murky waters among the reeds or beneath the mud and will launch themselves armed with a poisonous attack when suitable prey comes along. It’s not uncommon for one to barter for meat instead by using treasures stolen from other dragons or their hoards, and though they tend to be solitary the promise of riches and fine meats can easily sway a Hooded Murkling into joining up with others to lend a “helpful” claw. Playing nicely or fairly with said others is not a strength they often possess.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Michibiki has a pretty decent deal going with the hunters that frequent the coastal forest he lives within. All he has to do is make a lot of ruckus in specific locations to gradually draw prey into the hunter's traps, and he will receive nicely cooked meals and prime cuts of meat in exchange. The understanding is clear between them that if his weekly due is not met, he will rampage after the hunters instead. Of course, unless they bring him a peace offering, usually some dried spiced meat. He loves spiced meat.
