Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Bolteneir is the Male Electric dragon that gaurds the power mill in the south of Hybrid forest with Spyro. Anytime the power goes out and the mill stops (refer stops to starts in spyro's description sorry for the mistake) working, both will fire off electricity during storms, power outages, and anything causing pitch darkness in Tru's hut. Both Spyro and Bolteneir feed off the suns nutrition like a flower. This nutrition charges their energy to give the electricity needed and sometimes they will use a tiny spark to kill mice or foxes that pass by if they need excess energy for any given reason.
