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.

This plated colossus is hard of hearing, and nobody has been able to figure out her real name, so they call her Whatter. She adopted the howler drake, q1eEt, whom Electrick-or-treat trained to write. When the howler drake is asked what Whatter's real name is, he writes "wh4Tr". The drake's howls make wh4Tr happy, because they are one of the few noises she is capable of hearing. She grows mushrooms—some of which get eaten by q1eEt before they can make it to market—on a small farm outside of Nworset, located in a valley magically terraformed so as to to prevent the racket of q1eEt's calls from escaping. q1eEt likes to parrot whatever wh4Tr says, so the little drake is often heard screaming, "My mushroom farm!" wh4Tr sometimes jokes that he is the real owner.
