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.

"Hey! C'mon! Hurry up! Yer all takin' yer dang time! Yer slower than me grandma, an' she's WAY older than ALL of ya, punks!"

Indeed, Red Hot Impatience is known to be... Well, impatient. He can often be caught yelling at each new clutch of eggs, demanding that they hatch earlier. This is bad in itself, but he nearly got himself kicked out of the cave when he shook each egg violently to try to "wake the lil' buggers up!!" Needless to say, other dragons are a bit concerned by this behavior, and they keep a close eye on him.

Interestingly enough, the eggs he yells at often DO hatch early.
