The bright specks that adorn Xol Dragons mesmerize all who behold them. But those who gaze upon these capricious dragons must be cautious, for it can be difficult to resist their charm. The allure is especially strong during sunset, when Xols perform intricate dances, their agile bodies rising and falling within the water as their ornamental fins shimmer softly. Unwary spectators may find themselves in peril if they give in to the silent call of the dragons’ dangerous beauty, for the waters in which the Xols dance scald all those who enter. Thankfully, anyone who is wise enough to recognize their magic is able to resist it while still enjoying the display. Although dangerous in the water, Xols are relatively harmless on land unless provoked. Xol Dragons lay their eggs on land heated by volcanic activity, and the warmth helps develop their common red coloring. However, when eggs stay below a certain temperature for too long, this development is stunted, leading to the existence of blue individuals.

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.

After watching some intrepid humans painting canvases near his volcanic home, True Art decided to also give painting a try. He reasoned that if such an activity was easy for a human to perform, then it should also be a cakewalk for a dragon such as himself. For a while after making said decision, whenever True Art saw someone carrying around art supplies, he would use his innate magic to lure them close to the water, then quickly swipe and swim away with his newly-obtained loot.

Nowadays, True Art keeps his finished canvases in a small cave which he now calls his gallery, and will proudly show off and talk about his artworks to any dragon or human interested in viewing them. While he eagerly accepts donations of new art supplies, he isn't above using his old tricks if his current stash of supplies starts getting low.
