Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Jokani has managed to, through a rather improbable combination of circumstances, live for a couple decades as a human without anyone suspecting anything was amiss. He took over for the reclusive gamekeeper for a local lord when said gamekeeper died, and as the lord had no particular taste for hunting, Jokani's contact with other humans is limited and something he controls. When he does need to interact with humans, he uses a combination of contorting, illusions, and fool-the-eye spells to disguise himself (it helps that, being unnaturally small for a magi, he's no taller than an average human when he rears up on his hind legs). Other dragons understandably think Jokani rather odd, but he values the chance to mingle with humanity without them knowing what he truly is.
