Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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 magma dragon Ardous is a very peculiar male. His huge, lumbering mass persuades most to think of him as a lazy, thick headed and ill-mannered. However, you couldn't be any more wrong. Ardous is a big push over. He is sweet and affectionate and flattering to the females of the cave. He is very respectful of every other male in the cave, especially the Archbaron. Most agree that he is too nice. He never speaks up for himself, he never says 'no' to anyone who asks a favor of him and no matter what insult is hurled at him, he never fights back or says anything in defense. Meaner members of the clan take advantage of poor Ardous while the others just watch in pity.
