Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Syksy is a rather vain dragon. She is quite attractive, and knows it. Lounging around in what she calls luxury and mating when she feels like it, she dislikes taking orders and will only ever comply in her own time. There is no kind interior beneath her burning personality. Syksy is known to neglect anything outside her immediate interest, including her own children. She considers herself far above most of the cave's inhabitants and will not hesitate to tell them so if feeling particularly nasty.
