Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Yennefer is a beautiful and talented magi dragoness. But Yennefer hides a huge secret: as a hatchling she was terribly ugly and disfigured and her beauty is nothing but the result of experimental spells cast on her in her youth. As a result Yen is insecure about her own beauty and avoids the company of dragons like Beldin or Baba Jaga, because their appearance makes her feel vaguely guilty.

The only one she ever confides in is her best friend Triss, who also is the only one to know about Yennefer's deep rooted fears, for example she believed for a long time, that the experimental spells left her infertile.
