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.

It was an epic battle: human vs pebble dragon. In the end, the human won, leaving the dragon dead with a sword piercing him. But that night, a full moon rose, and a strange magic lingered in the area. The dragon rose, with rotting flesh and exposed bone and muscle. No heart beat within him, but he walked, going forth and seeking the flesh of the living. From that day on, he had risen from the ground at night, going on his ravenous rampages. At the end of the night he digs a hole and buries himself, resting during the day until the moon rises for his next feeding.
