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.

Grudged Golden Grave is so called because this dragon exudes a feeling of anger, as if everyone in the world has slighted him. He is not violent, but almost every dragon who in his presence feels concerned that he will attack without provocation. Because of this, he is widely avoided, which only makes Grave more miffed. He lives and works in a graveyard, muddying his claws to carve out graves when a dragon dies. This happens unfortunately frequently because just south of his city are two human kingdoms that hold strong anti-draconic beliefs.

On a few odd occasions, Grave has been known to hide among the headstones and pretend to be an old ghost, making sarcastic comments about how "Back in my day..." things were different; at various times he has been talked into saying silly things. Here are a few fun ones that made it into record-keeper Aeneatikoi's records:

"Back in my day, eggs laid dragons!"

"Back in my day, all pigs had wings!"

"Back in my day, everything was back in my day!"
