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.

Magma Pooling in the Night (Night Magma) is an Ember dragon. Defensive and unpredictable, Night Magma is true to her Ember dragon roots. With her rippling muscles and daunting gaze, it is hard to imagine Night Magma as a motherly type. In fact, her body type is quite masculine. However, Night Magma is indeed a good mother. Her mate, No Moon, is a black dragon with even larger muscles than hers. The two got off to a rough start, a heated battle over a piece of meat to be exact. However, the two were undoubtedly impressed with the others fighting skills. No Moon courted Night Magma with haste, disregarding any sort of chivalry. Despite the lack of compassion, the two are happiest when they are miserable and even happier yet when they are miserable because of each other. It is because of this fact that all of their many children have no hope for an optimistic mindset. Night Magma is a fierce protector of her children and her children alone, a characteristic common for her breed.
