Bolt Dragons are incredibly powerful dragons with the ability to wield lightning magic. They can be ruthless on occasion, but are generally mild unless provoked. Due to their intelligence and keen observational skills, it is incredibly arduous to attack a Bolt Dragon undetected. If threatened by a formidable opponent, Bolt Dragons will flare out their fin-like appendages to make themselves look more menacing.

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.

While many adolescent bolts grumble about their inadequate magic, Gaelz had another worry: she couldn't control her power and often shocked things by standing beside them. She was surrounded by a persistent static charge and had to wear a magic-nullifying collar to avoid frying the plants under her feet. Her peers stayed away from her, and she became rather unsociable as a result. On her 45th hatchday, Gaelz attended a large gathering of dragons who had lightning-based powers and were there to share their skills and inventions. She doesn't know if it was all the expelled electricity or just something in her mind coming together, but she finally learned to control her magic and lost the nasty charge she'd carried all those years. She was ex-static. Since then, Gaelz has felt that it's important to be up-to-date with trends in electricity magic and technology, and she keeps an eye on the shock market. She is a bolt dragon, after all, a dragon who should be well-versed in current affairs.
