Sawtooth Dragons are stealthy hunters that have mastered the element of surprise to attack prey from both above and below. They are born and reside deep in the jungle, stalking swamps and hunting anything that moves until their wings are large enough to sustain them in flight, after which they leap into the air to soar through the treetops and dive at their unsuspecting victims. The Sawtooths’ long jaws are almost unrivaled in strength, with serrated teeth and a bite so powerful they can crush even large mammals—their primary food source.

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.

There's nothing Kiruringo enjoys more than a good back scratch grooming session, and to this end she has collected many different items, like dried brush and pumice rocks, for personal hygiene. She has accumulated so many different grooming items that she's frequently asked by her older siblings to assist with teaching hatchlings proper grooming habits. This has given her a somewhat inflated view of the importance of her hoard: for gifts, Kiru will present sacks of rocks that can be used for buffing out calluses or filing down uneven claws. "Never underestimate the beauty potential of a good rock," she insists.
