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.

ZAP Brannigan was raised by Emerald Immortality, a dragon that most others try to stay away from because of his massive arrogance and violence if you don't feel the same. ZAP (standing for Zany Amazing Person for a reason that Emerald Immortality, the namer, can barely even understand) was raised to be his apprentice so someone may pass down his great tales that are more often than not lies to the hatchlings of the new age. ZAP, however, turned out to be as arrogant as his master and he ran away, not deeming him worthy of his presence. Now he resides in a cave by his lonesome, refusing to find a mate because none are good enough, and tells himself tales that he believes he did, but honestly can't remember. Still a fairly young dragon, it is assumed that his memory is as bad as it is for trying to put up with his master for so many years. He will sometimes find an egg and tell it his stories, as if it is listening, then roll it away because it will never be good enough for him.
