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.

Arcius is incredibly vain. He believes himself to be an invincible spellcaster, far the superior of any dragon in the land, but in reality he's no more than average for a Magi dragon. He never stops boasting to all the female dragons about his last great spell, and never hesitates to show off his magical abilities to anyone that will watch. Because of his infuriating narcissism, none of the other dragons want to be his friend, and they make polite excuses to avoid him whenever possible. This would have finally put a dent in Arcius' pride, if he hadn't gotten it into his head that they were avoiding him because he was too good for them.
