Red Dragons are similar to typical story book dragons. They shoot flames, can fly, etc. However, they aren’t evil creatures as depicted in myths and won’t go around raiding castles, killing knights, or kidnapping princesses. They live in a variety of habitats, from forests to coastlines to abandoned castles, usually in warm climates, and eat whatever living creatures they can find.

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.

Uari is not as ill-tempered as his father, but his heritage was enough to scare most Clan dragons away from him when he was growing up—not because of the prejudice that he might share his father's character, but because of the fear that being close to his favorite son might provoke Haggerty to go after them. Because of that, Uari grew up to be a very reserved, solitary dragon. He never seeks company, and if approached by others, he will be very polite and courteous, but will stay distant. Uari knows that he caused many prospective friends to give up on him because he never warmed up to their company, but he prefers to live and hunt alone.
