Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Xaerur spent so much time six-feet-under that he no longer remembered how to interact with other dragons. At first all the dragons in his cave were worried about their brains being eaten and being killed. But then they realized that he didn't eat at all, and could be cornered into a pen. Now he spends all his time scaring the hatchlings and rotting.
