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.

Zenith is considered by Mesef, his owner, to be the first rare dragon in the cave, even though a cheese dragon and an unusual vine dragon preceded him.  He has had trouble producing magma dragon heirs, so instead adopted the young guardian of nature that he helped summon, Malarok the God of Equality.  Zenith's closest friends, Medea and Nadir, are both female dragons with female offspring, which at times makes Zenith feel out of the loop.  However, he has several children (primarily female) and one magma heir, and is soon hoping to become a grandfather.
