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.

A careless dragon, Monsoon's Resonance is charged with severely wounding the Deepsea dragon named Insomnia's Glimmerings as a hatchling, resulting in the dragon's mute state. While hatchling scuffles are far from unusual, any fight resulting in such a debilitating wound is remembered and severely punished. As Monsoon's Resonance was quite young when the fight occurred, his punishment was far less severe than it would have been if he were an adult. As it stands now, he has been given the rare and difficult task of Stormfighting, which involves patrolling the borders of the territory and releasing electricity into any menacing storm clouds until they lose all energy in an overload of electricity and zap the dragon responsible. He carries out his tasks well and has vowed never to speak in homage to Insomnia, who he visits regularly. The two remain fast friends, and Monsoon believes Insomnia to be his truest friend.
