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.

The flash of lightning in an otherwise still sky is often the only indication of this dragon's presence. Hefedra, Storm-Child, is a descendant of only electric and thunder dragons as far back as the records trace, and she shows it. Creating powerful bursts of lightning around herself as she plummets through the clouds, she strikes rivers and other bodies of water with deadly force, gorging herself upon the stunned and fried fish before returning to the clouds above.
