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.

Basalt is single. A stranger would wonder why. He is, after all, a magma, a highly desirable mate that any dragon would be honored to have. Except that nobody can stand him. It's not that he's a bad dragon, or that he has any adverse traits. It's that he doesn't have any traits. Talking to him is like talking to a rock, except that the rock is more likely to respond. Even the most patient of stone dragons is likely to walk away from him out of sheer boredom. Surprisingly, he is friends with Clair, the stuck-up thunder and Arc the jerk of an ice. Those three have formed a strong bond, as they are the only ones who can even remotely tolerate each other. In fact, the only surefire way to get him to show emotion is to threaten Arc or Clair. However, it is only recommended to do so if you are suicidal.
