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.

Some merchants thought they could fetch a pretty penny by taking a dragon's egg across the ocean to where dragons were less common and selling it to a freak show. Of course, none of them expected the egg to hatch on board their ship, nor were they prepared to cope with the tiny dragon's shenanigans. They called him Alan or AlanF when not using more impolite words—these sailors were known for their salty language—but he never meant them any harm. He was just too young to know how to not cause trouble on a tiny boat.

Alan was eventually foisted off into a traveling circus where he learned a lot about manners and theatrics. It quickly became apparent that he was not the fearsome type; even at a young age he would teleport balloon animals to entertain children. The circus was quick to adapt, though, and marketed him as a mysterious and magical creature rather than a fearsome one as they had intended. They made sure to treat Alan well and he has since become the circus master.
