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.

Coals Burning is the leader of his dragon-pride. He is very pompous and suave, using his higher rank to get the attentions of the females in his pride. He is also very stubborn and sarcastic, and pretends to be brave and amazing when he is really scared. The only thing that truly bugs him is when he knows someone is lying to him, but they won't admit it. His favorite human is his own owner, Donta. They roam the land together and always trust on each other for fair judgement.
