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.

The name "Fucus Mortiferus" (foo-koos mor-tee-fayr-oos) means "Red Death" in Latin, a fitting title for an impressive beast! And he kills so much more cleanly than the disease from the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name. F.M., as we call him for short (he's got a great signal-to-noise ratio), bears some resemblance to Asian dragons, except for those pesky legs. His high-arching horns may perhaps serve as his antennae to the gods, providing him with that great signal as well as spiritual guidance. He'll never be without that internal (infernal) compass.
