Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Storm Render is named because of her peculiar habit of creating storms, then tearing them apart for her amusement. She is often the one responsible for "freak" storms, the kind that appears suddenly and then vanish five minutes later with equal suddenness. Her keeper has managed to somewhat cool her natural irritability, so that on occasion she can be called upon to rend particularly fierce storms and save human and dragon lives in the process. However, she doesn't really care about helping the people involved; she just likes the opportunities to test her rending skills against the fiercest storms.
