Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

The Forbidden One was born to a good family, and could have lived a normal dragon life except for his fascination with spells. He used spells continually, always hoping to gain more riches, more fame, always looking for the next great life changer. He became wealthy, grew fat, and with every gain, still always wanted more. When he heard about the spell for guaranteed eternal life, so highly prized by some humans, he thought nothing of his own immortality, and insisted on trying the spell called The One Taboo. Acquiring it from a traveling wizard, who promised wonderful results, he gulped it down.
