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.

Ghost Ship Sailors is one of the most recent successes of the mage Guillotine's forays into necromancy, but unlike the other, older, Undead that wander her territory, the once-Tidal is surprisingly placid. He mostly swims in deep water, away from any living dragons, and is frequently seen with "passengers" (mostly small crustaceans and the occasional octopus). He's mostly just disgusting to look at and not actually dangerous, although given his mindless nature he does pose a danger to small fishing vessels in his path.
