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.

Spyraken was raised from an egg with Shaydaran. The two are nearly identical in age and view one another as their 'twin'. They find it hard to disagree on any matter and they enjoy much of the same things. However, while Shaydaran is an optimist, Spyraken is a complete pessimist. He always manages to think of the worst-case scenario in anything that happens. Other than that, though, he leads a relatively happy life. He is not as excitable as his 'twin' and would rather watch the world move around him, instead of playing an active role in it.

He exhibits a fine mastery of his electric abilities, which is somewhat odd seeing as he is self-taught.
