Considered heralds of ill fortune, Omen Wyrms are usually found in areas previously ravaged by disaster or strife, blending in amongst the foliage. Due to the unique appearance and texture of their bodies, they often pass as dead trees as they wait for unsuspecting prey. Their haunting cry—like that of a hollow-sounding horn—is a sure signal to run: it is always followed by the dragons’ furious wrath, which manifests in the form of fiery cascades. Escape from an Omen Wyrm is possible, however; it is said they will not dare follow their quarry across running water, no matter the cause of their vexation.

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.

All Yugameru ever really wanted was a nice long, uninterrupted nap. Unfortunately, no matter where he tries to settle down, there's always something that keeps him from sleeping soundly. Whether it's the buzz of insects, the rustle of leaves, or even the skittering of tiny animal feet, he always notices something that occupies his attention so much that he can't get into the calm state of mind to doze off. He's had some success in forests of dead trees, but it frustrates him when bugs keep finding the trees and moving around under the bark. He has no choice but to keep burning them down again and again to get some peace and quiet.
