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.

The Zombie 'Virus Apocalypse' lurks in an old crypt in a buried church. She has lived in the crypts for a long time, even before she was 'zombified'. At the time of the building's demise, a group of magic users cursed the church. The dragon trapped inside was accidentally included in the curse, and turned into a zombie. When the magic users found out about what they did to Virus, they destroyed the church and vowed never to let the zombie escape. However the crypts have many secret exits, and on nights when the moon and stars are covered by clouds, Virus leaves the tunnels and goes in search of victims: a few cows, a horse, a flock of sheep, or even people. Her hunger is never satisfied, but she returns to the crypts at dawn, as the sun is excruciatingly painful to her ravaged flesh.
