Ember Dragons have a great affinity for hot environments. While they themselves are not hot to the touch, their tendency to lurk amongst smoldering ashes has caused many to believe they are fire-starters. Their dully glowing markings serve many purposes: acting as a means of identification between individuals, as an important part of mating displays, and as a way of showing aggression. The long, low build of the breed makes them ungainly in flight, and the thick fleshy membranes of their wings hinder them further. As such, it is rare to see an Ember Dragon take to the air. Ember Dragons are also not particularly sociable; females tend to be defensive, whereas males are more aggressive. Once they have settled with a particular group of dragons, Ember Dragons are incredibly loyal and will defend their pack by any means possible.

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.

Out of Hershey Bars is a chocoholic. She often gnaws on some sort of chocolatey treat. Her favorite kind of chocolate is Hershey candy bars, especially when they're melted. She and I Didn't Get Any Candy often bicker over the Hershey bars, but they inevitably sulk together on account that they're always out of it. The other dragons are often caught stealing from Out of Hershey Bars' secret candy stash. Weekly on every Tuesday because of the missing candy, Out of Hershey Bars and I Didn't Get Any Candy raid several villages of their candy to satisfy their sweet-tooth.
