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.

Kiala has a great passion for all things red, including herself. She's well known for stealing anything that's red and hiding it away in her cave. Occasionally someone will happen upon her cave. They always have a few seconds to be amazed by how many red objects there are in the world before they are promptly chased away. Kiala would defend her red hoard to the death in any situation. No one is ever going to touch her precious crimson goodies.

On top of her ridiculous obsession with red items, she is also obsessed with her fantastic red self! Kiala will look for items that are reflective, even if they aren't red, just so she can see herself. She considers all nearby ponds to be her territory and she can sometimes be found just gazing down into the water. Of course, there are days when she isn't looking her best. If it happens to be one of those days and she happens to be looking at her reflection, it is not unlike Kiala to begin stomping her feet and growling loudly at the water.
