Red Dragon

The Tyrant of Flame

The most iconic and feared entity in Western fantasy, the red dragon is recognized by its crimson scales, massive bat-like wings, and devastating fire breath. Adults reach 20-30 meters in length and are famous for their obsessive hoarding of gold and gems, often depicted sleeping atop vast treasure piles. Possessing extreme intelligence, ancient cunning, and command of high magic, they demand tribute from human settlements within their volcanic territories. Their lives span over a thousand years, and the oldest specimens are considered living disasters in their own right.
