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.

Ghoulish Delight knows he wasn't always like this. Sometimes he tries to remember what happened, but all he has are fleeting images: children in costumes running in all directions, a hatchling beside him, his need to protect the hatchling from harm. Nothing that explains what happened to them, no real memory. The only remnant of his previous life is the continuing need to protect Monster Mash. As he paws through the rubble of the trash pile looking for scraps to stave off the unending hunger, he tries to find one memory of what was before, but no memory is there.
