Cavern Lurker Dragons are nocturnal ambush predators. Although small, they are very aggressive and will attack anything weak enough to be overpowered. Their preferred method of hunting is to lie in wait in a cave, burrow, or other small, enclosed space; when any potential prey passes they will lunge out to grab hold of the unsuspecting victim and drag it back into the lair. Cavern Lurkers have an odd aversion to sunlight and almost never venture out during the day. More commonly sighted are the odd piles of bones they stack near the entrance to their dens. Their mating call is a low-pitched bumping noise.

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.

Reddish Lurker makes a living locating curse tablets that were buried and possibly forgotten. Curses that are inscribed in stone have a potential to be long-lasting, and people affected by the spells may wish to find and neutralize the offending tablets. That's where Reddish comes in. If clients can see past her scary appearance, attitude, and dining habits, they'll see that she has a hundred percent find rate for curse tablets. Sometimes, people trust her and request her services, and other times, they do so because they're desperate. She works at night, in the dark, and creeps around observing locations, studying the possible spells that can be on the tablet, and covertly investigating possible casters of the curse. The compensation Reddish demands depends on the nature of the magic and the amount of time and effort it took to locate the curse tablets. Clients who fail to pay up for a long enough time are dismembered and eaten, and she has a hundred percent find rate for delinquents.
