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.

Painted Firetail, or Peacock as he is often called, is quite possibly the most self-centered dragon in the cave. He can usually be found at the lakeshore, admiring his reflection or splashing his scales to make them temporarily shinier... or to clean them off when Aethia decides that Peacock gone long enough without having mud dumped on him. When it's the latter, however, there's usually a nasty surprise awaiting him in the water as well, which has once resulted in his scales turning pink for a week. Since then, he has been terrified of paint to the point of running away in terror whenever it is mentioned.
