Royal Crimson Dragons are so named due to their massive size and confident, regal bearing. Most of the time they are laid back, ignoring non-prey creatures smaller than themselves, although they will occasionally take fresh kills from other dragons as a reminder of their place in the social order. Although there are few other dragons large enough to pose a threat to Royal Crimsons, they have little tolerance for potential rivals and will fiercely defend their territory from such intruders.

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.

Stand Clear of the has been friends with Closing Doors Please since they were in eggs, though the eggs part is because both were conceived and hatched on the same day, so they were put together in the same den. Stand Clear of the is not so snooty as the typical royal crimson, or at least he keeps his thoughts to himself, and he considers walking around trying to tell other dragons off is kind of mean. Maybe the olive demeanor has rubbed off on him. Because of his size, he can safely trundle to the nearest town of humans and close their doors. Whenever someone leaves a door open, he walks over and closes it. It's quite fun.
