Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Dark was destined to be a zombie from nearly the beginning of her life. A Tinsel-Fail, she was regarded with scorn from the other dragons the moment she arrived at the home of the necromancer. She welcomed her in, sympathetic to her plight. She quickly grew into a strong and confident adult Terrae. Despite constant teasing, she was very proud and self assured. The necromancer gave her all the confidence she needed, for she was a very loving owner. Dark was playing in the woods one lovely day, when it grew late she decided to sleep under the night sky. She settled down, ready for good dreams. It was the last time she would ever draw breath. Only the night sky bore witness as a wanderer happened upon her, deep in happy dreams. A sword slipped between her ribs, and Dark knew no more. The morning brought her necromancer. She grew worried for her in the night and set out to find her. Distraught over her condition, she revived her with magic. She vowed to never let Dark come to harm again.
