Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Heinz Ketchup is a very adventurous dragon. He enjoys trying new things; whether it be new food, a new activity, or even a new location to live in. His mate is very cynical about his behavior, yet puts up with it as she cares about him more than she'll ever admit. Because he travels frequently, Heinz does not manage to hold very many friends, but he still keeps a few close that he's able to visit every year or so. Overall, Heinz is just a venturesome dragon who hopes to live his life to the fullest.
