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.

Upon first glance, Warmth doesn't exactly seem, well, warm. He's quite aggressive and snappy, lashing out at anyone or anything unfamiliar to him. He gets easily annoyed and is often caught shouting at whoever has disturbed him. Despite his bitter attitude, Warmth is not much of a fighter. He's lacking in physical strength, so his only real defense is his blazing hot scales which are kept at peak heat by his constant basking near lava. Warmth is drawn toward anything hot. Even measly campfires tend to capture his attention and draw him forward. An easy way to calm him down after one of his many hissy fits is simply to light a warm fire for him to rest in. Despite his foul temper and aggressive nature, Warmth does have a kind and loyal heart. Though arduous and difficult, it is possible to befriend him with a ton of patience, and, once he has a friend, he will do whatever he deems necessary to protect them. Warmth isn't exactly the friendliest companion, but he is always reliable.
