Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Ixgamaray is the relatively faithful mate of Hedgebush, the secondary guardian of Whimsy's scroll. She is very loyal to him, and despite her breed's violent nature, she is very gentle with the young ones and enjoys nursing them as though they were her own. In her free time, she enjoys using her fire-breathing abilities to burn intricate designs onto pieces of rock. As she is a dragon of careful nature, her art has always turned out to be fearfully beautiful. She places these stones near the entrance of the cave in which she dwells to scare any unwanted guests away, since the people who she keeps close to her heart know of her unique works.
