Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

Hmmhmm. Hmmhee. Hmheeheehee. Heeheeheeaahhhhhahahaha!

Only the unlucky hear it, that laughter on the breeze, the sound of manic amusement, the devil's own bloody breath. It floats ever closer to the unfortunate.

Duke Hide, Dragon-Skinner, member of the roving Bloody Weyr, that's his call. Just before he springs from the shadows for his prey, they'll hear it, faint, soft at first, then growing, a demonic glee that expands to a scream of laughter as he hauls his squirming, live victim back to the rest of his pack. Sometimes the dragon will die right away. That's if he or she is lucky.

If not...

Hmmhmm. Hmmhee. Hmheeheehee.
