Khusa dragons thrive in dry, desolate, and rocky areas. Though they can fly, Khusa enjoy honing their climbing skills on foot. Shortly after they hatch, parents are already teaching their young how to pick their way across cliff faces, escarpments, and thin ridges. The young are well cared for by their parents, but other Khusa in the area also look out for the young—despite not forming close-knit groups, these dragons form loose alliances with their closest neighbors. If a threat is spotted, they will attack from above and drive it to the ground where Khusa have an advantage.

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.

Most dragons think Eyren was named after an eyrie, the thing that large birds live in, but he was actually named after the things his species (and birds) hatch from: eggs. His caretakers were sellers of chicken and duck eggs, so he was surrounded by eggs and egg-related business, and it would seem they just named him Eggs for simplicity's sake. He tries not to think too hard about where he came from. He believes that his parents obtained him in a legitimate way, as they did their other eggs. Anyway, for a pair of humans, they were great—a bit soft and lacking in the climbing department, but great. Eyren helped them with their work and interacted with lots of other humans, but once his parents died, he left the business with his human siblings and nieces and nephews. Khusa all around the Mijma Rockland know that this fella Eyren wasn't brought up like the rest of them, and any strangeness in his behavior is attributed to not having been socialized by their standards.
