Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

One of a clutch of ten eggs. His name means "Venom of God", and he does most of his work in tandem with the worst creatures imaginable, namely vampire dragons and undead dragons. It is thought that Samael spread knowledge of the Forbidden Words of Life to the sentient races knowing full well that, more often than not, the product of their usage is an unholy walking corpse. Indeed, augmenting his voice and aura with darkness and death mana, he can even exert control over the undead. He prefers to avoid this when dealing with vampires, when possible, as they maintain their consciousness while under his control, and on occasion he has had to burn a useful tool just to keep from having his methods revealed to the community at large. Still, his movements have not gone unnoticed, and he has made enemies of several of the older, more powerful vampire dragons.
