Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Some say that Magrifor's favorite phrase is "In my day...," and it's true that he spends much of his time talking about how much better things were when he was young. He's never met a tradition he didn't like, no matter how outmoded or misguided, and scorns whatever he considers to be newfangled ideas. Magrifor insists that rules must be followed at all costs, and anyone who objects will face his certain wrath. Some unscrupulous dragons have discovered that, as long as they pay lip service to Magrifor's ideals, they can have his support for just about anything they might desire, as he refuses to believe that anyone in strong support of rules and tradition could possibly be up to no good.
