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.

In the smallest, quietest hours of night—with the day-loving dragons asleep and the night-loving dragons gone to do their business—the only things stirring around the Breedery are the dead. The vampires also stir at this time, but the wee hours of the night truly belong to Graveminded and its fellow zombie dragons. Now little more than a shambling horror, it lies motionless and hidden during the daytime, emerging at night to wander the Breedery grounds aimlessly. Despite being supposedly mindless, it seems to remember its home, and never leaves the Breedery proper. The oldest of the Breedery's zombies, it behaves more intelligently than the undead are thought to be capable of at times. Unlike some local zombies, it does not attack the living unless attacked itself, but it does move toward living beings it detects, which is disturbing to almost everyone. It's impossible to easily tell if the glowing eyes are as empty as they seem; no one but Lurhstaap has been willing to find out.
