Avatars of Destruction possess a volatile disposition. They thrive on chaos and decay, and their horns and plated scales are as hard as forged metal. Because of their affinity with darkness and the destructive forces of nature, it was once thought that these dragons were omens of ill fortune.

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.

There's no way to put it gently: Taghi is dimwitted, and he would be dead if he weren't a force of nature. Still, the other avatars wonder how he hasn't killed himself by dipping his head into water or something. They call him a black sheep, but Taghi knows they're joking because he's not a sheep. Since they don't want him nosing into their affairs, he spends lots of time observing his surroundings so he can prove he's useful by sharing cool facts. One exciting morning, he noticed that if he puts his hand out in front of himself, it blocks his view a bit. He subsequently discovered that holding his hand in the same way in front of other dragons will also partially obscure their view. Nobody seemed that amazed when he shared this fact. Even the humans were more scared than amazed, but they're always afraid of him, so they don't really count. Anyway, it's disappointing when everyone you know has such high standards, but Taghi never gives up and is always looking for things to discover.
