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.

Boil is something of a hot shot (pun intended.) His family lives in the seaside caverns below a sheer cliff, guarded reclusively by Boil's parents: Siren the Xol and Coatl the Lacula. The two of them have developed a taste for stealing and hoarding treasures from around the area, leading to their unpopular status among the neighbors. Boil, however, thrives on this negative attention. He is a skilled swimmer and magic user, though his spells tend to be limited to distractions and visual limiters. Smog, for instance, is his personal favorite. Boil will incessantly mess with those he steals from. He has a snide, arrogant sense of humor and will actively mock someone as they're chasing him. As for his signature Xol dancing, he actually must do so in secret because of his mother's strange taboo on the subject. He does this half to spite her and half because he has a genuine passion for swimming.
