Ice Dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature.

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.

Apocalyptic is a bit of a conspiracy theorist, telling other dragons that every little thing they do is being watched. She believes that an evil organization called the Nefariously Scary Avocados has planted secret invisible balls of magic inside the world's avocados, which dragons then eat. The magic ball transmits sound over a long distance to a listening agent. Through the magic ball, the Nefariously Scary Avocados can listen to everything a dragon says and eats. Many dragons have proved her wrong in the past, but Apocalyptic continues to insist that the Nefariously Scary Avocados are invading the privacy of dragons all over the world.
