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.

'Burrow Burner' lives up to his name quite well, for burning burrows is just the thing he does. He works as a "burrower" in the Oceanfire Kingdom, a kingdom of Ember Dragons that live within the ocean-like crater of an active volcano. When welcoming new members, they often need more inner-cavern cave-rooms for them to live in, in which Burrow Burner will happily melt down the stone walls into a comfortable living place for other Ember Dragons. As he spends most his time underground, his eyes are sensitive to sunlight, and often only makes above-ground travels during the night time. As for personality, he doesn't really have much unless when around stone; for when living a life of digging and digging in stone, he knows much about common volcanic minerals and could easily get over-excited when speaking of the topic.
