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.

Chucky has always had an obsession with children. Be they dragons, humans, or even animals, she will be drawn to them, gazing in their window with fascination at them playing, sleeping, and living their life. Unfortunately, when you are born with a face such as Chucky's, being seen at the window results in screaming and crying, which leaves Chucky distraught and embarrassed, yet curious as to what she did wrong. Sometimes in the dead of night, Chucky will sneak into the house, and curl up, catlike, on children's beds, simply enjoying their company. However a large black dragon coming into your house at night is never a cause of good dreams, and Chucky must content herself to watch from afar, the screams of terror she causes echoing in his forlorn mind. The dragons that run the nursery are used to Chucky, and will let her play with the hatchlings during the daytime hours, but every evening they must usher her out so the hatchlings can get some sleep.
