Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Lilica prefers her own company more than others. When she finally seeks other dragons company she prefers other fire dragons. The only dragons she trusts are the magma dragon Takashi Blackstone and the red dragon Odelia Blastburn. Loyal to the end Lilica will sacrifice herself if it could save her friends. Mostly defensive in battle she prefers tiring the opponent rather than attacking, but she will fight back if she has no other option. Using her heavy fleshy wings as weapons in battle, hammering them down at full force if the opponent tries to flank her. Attracted to heat she is often seen standing near burning or smoldering houses often trying to get as close as possible. None of the dragons in the cave have ever seen Lilica fly.
