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.

No one knows Protactinium well enough to even discern her gender, and that's just as well because she's very dangerous. She can direct electricity fine, but her very presence around humans and dragons makes them, curiously, very ill. She can be recognized by a silver luster that other electric dragons don't have and is called the "metallic omen" by humans. Aware of her unfortunate trait, Protactinium sequesters herself in a rocky underground burrow, only coming out to eat. Every so often, she is stricken by loneliness and depression, but knowing she isn't hurting anyone helps the feeling pass quickly.
