Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Absol watches the skies carefully, monitoring them as closely as a mother watches her child. Each breath of wind means something to him, and even a slightest change in cloud density will cause him to delve into a fury of calculations, predicting what this small change will bring. He is endlessly on the lookout for danger, using his expert knowledge of weather patterns to discover the earliest signs of a storm, and will hurry to the area that will be affected, hoping the residents will learn to flee.  As an unfortunate consequence, Absol's presence has become entwined with disaster, many believing he brings it, instead of merely trying to warn. This distresses Absol, as it would any well-meaning dragon, but he bears his burden as he knows the lives he saves by forewarning danger are worth it, and that one day, they will find out the truth and be thankful.  Yet in his worst moments, Absol worries that "one day" will never come.
