This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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 majority of Bahamyt's tribe does not even know that she is part of it. Bahamyt is the Guardian of the area the tribe decided to settle. She ignored the tribe at first, but as it increased in size she was forced to notice it. The dragons never damaged the land in any way, so Bahamyt decided they were not a threat, and eventually accepted them as part of her territory. It was then that she introduced herself to the tribe's elders, who came to the decision that befriending her would be the best course of action. Like most of her species, Bahamyt stays hidden the majority of the time, only coming out when there is some form of threat. Her personality is unknown due to the rarity of "Bahamyt sightings", but she is protective of and loyal to the tribe, and has aided the warriors several times.
