Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Magma and lava were flowing around and an immense hotness made surviving close to the volcano impossible. The big, red dragon turned and gazed at the volcano, filled with fear as the eruption began. Slowly, the cave where he spent his whole life started to disappear behind a continuous stream of lava.

With an angry growl, the red dragon stretched his wings and stood up on his hind legs. His tail tip touched the lava that had come closer. He cringed at first, but then noticed he wasn't hurt.

After some hesitation, he stepped in the lava. His scales started to glow, but they didn't burn. He enjoyed the hotness, and slowly walked back in the cave that was his home for a long time, convinced he wouldn't ever leave again.
