Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Zam-Zam is a very hostile dragon, despite his not-so-menacing name. When he was just but a wee hatchling, some villagers stumbled upon his family's cave. His parents tried as hard as they could, but their magic was too weak. They were overpowered by the number of villagers. They took him and his parents captive, and they were held for auction. Zam-Zam escaped after he had been bought, and is now training for battle, so he can get revenge on the ones who took him from his family.
