Plated Colossus Dragons are one of the largest dragon species. These huge brutes are notorious bullies—they prefer to steal food from other dragons rather than finding it for themselves. As their thick hides are impervious to most forms of physical attack, Plated Colossi simply ignore the other dragons’ protests, or lash the offending dragon with their club-like tail, which can easily break a limb. Plated Colossi have slow metabolisms and do not need to eat often, but they may consume nearly half their body weight in one feeding. These dragons are not incredibly clever and any discussion with them will often center around eating.

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.

Behemoth requested entry into the clan early in the year. When asked why she desired to join, she simply casually replied, "I'm hungry. You have food." After a brief and somewhat tense conversation amongst themselves, the other dragons relented on the condition that she provide protection for the clan, to which she grunted in acceptance and politely asked in which direction the food stores were located. She can frequently be observed napping on large rocks with food hanging from her jaws, her snores shaking the surrounding pebbles into odd shapes. The hatchlings love to play on her sleeping form, and she does not seem to mind them at all. The clan is beginning to regret letting the lazy dragon join them, for all she does is sleep and languidly eat her fill when needed. Her placid personality is broken only when someone asks her about her past, to which she quickly becomes snappish and defensive. Most of them choose to leave her alone, and she is content to sleep her days away.
