Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Dara is an extremely competitive dragon; he often takes great pride in being undefeated in a game of "electric volleyball," a common game played by electric dragons. Ergo he is a strong and hardy dragon, and loves to defeat his opponents. His games however, have resulted in much attention from other dragons, most who suffer from the balls of electricity he flings everywhere in order to achieve victory. Because of this, he isn't liked by many other species of dragons but his own.
