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.

When he was in an egg, he was rejected by his parents. He felt lonely and ashamed, then Lavaball wanted to break out of his egg to find his parents. When he tried to break free, he felt like someone was carrying him, so he was now desperate to break out and see who was carrying him, but all he could do was bounce up and down. One day he finally made a crack in the egg, then another, then another! He was finally hatching! He cracked open and looked around. Lavaball had no idea where he was then he noticed other dragons...adults! They cared for him like their son and he quickly grew up. Now he makes quick visits to his family.
