Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Paper Cuts is quite a nice dragon. She's thoughtful and modest, and she has a good sense of humour. She sometimes sets aside 15 to 30 minutes a day to complain about small but annoying things, and her statements are agreeable enough or a subject of discussion, so listeners find them more amusing than petty. During that segment, Paper Cuts' most memorable complaint was about people bragging and letting others know how great they are at the same time ("All this gold beneath me is making me chilly, but I have to keep sitting on it. And it feels weird getting complimented all the time").
