Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Lightning Strike prefers solitude, but she does use her power over the weather to rain on the cave gardens and help feed her family. Although she doesn't plan with the military dragons of the cave, she makes elaborate plans for using this power over the weather in defense of the cave. In the event of a battle, both sides will be surprised by the execution of these plans.
