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.

Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Delta—wait, no! That's not it. Delta Alpha Beta Gamma has a complicated name. Nobody has been able to remember it without getting him mixed up with his brother and sisters. Of course, even the five dragons squabble about who's who, and often more than one of them responds to one of their name. He, unlike his siblings, is very lax and is the best at watching over the young ones, mainly because he just them do what they want as long as they're close enough for him to grab them with his tail away from danger.
