Monarch Dragons feed on large waterfowl, supplementing with a diet of eggs and fish as needed. Driven by the arrival of cold weather and the need to follow their prey, Monarchs are themselves migratory, leaving the forests in early fall and heading to the warmer climates of deserts and jungles. These migrations are a sight to see, as along the way smaller groups join with one another to form a single large group that can blot out the sunlight as they fly over. Until they reach their destination, they only land for short periods of time to rest. Monarchs spread out across the land at the end of their journey, breaking up once more into their small family groups until the time comes to return to the forest.

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.

This dragon loves to arrange stones in arrow formations on the ground, to indicate the direction he is traveling. This has been generally helpful to those who get disoriented during migrations, except for the one year when he got mixed up and wound up in the mountains. In that case, the arrows served to help him find his way back to the proper route.

For a ready supply of arrow rocks, Drekshuns collects claw-sized white ones whenever he can find them. He flies a little slower than most other Monarch dragons because of the weight of the rocks he carries around.
