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.

Karkar is one of the oldest dragons in the cave, and has grown to extreme proportions. With his younger days behind him, he is content to warm and watch over the eggs with the Red dragons. He allows the hatchlings of the cave to tussle and play along his rocky back, careful to control his body temperature so no one gets burned. Though old, Karkar has found a suitable mate in the fiery Hellhorse dragon Thyone. Her endless energy and impetuous personality never cease to amuse and fascinate him.
