Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Niccolai is a genius among dragons who has learned great control of his electrical abilities. He quickly discovered that some metals conducted electricity and used this knowledge as a hatchling to prank and shock his fellow dragons. Now that he's an adult, he produces sparks from time to time to attract insects for the Night Glory Drakes he has come to like so much. He likes the others of his kind who share the cave with him but makes efforts to socialize with everyone. He and Oberon are particularly close and have spent entire nights deep in philosophical debate while the Nebula Dragon observes the sky.
