Originating from a single species that thrived in ancient times, Xenowyrms have become an incredibly diverse breed whose appearances vary depending on their habitats. Each Xenowyrm subspecies is heavily reliant on the power of different types of mana, making them powerful magic users. Pyros are easily the heaviest of all Xenowyrm subspecies and they use their weight to their advantage. If scorching their foes with flames doesn’t finish them off, Pyros will use the weight of their bodies for sheer crushing power. They create their lairs solely in volcanic regions, where lava and billowing flames are the land’s most prominent features.

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.

From the day he hatched, Moto hasn't moved a muscle. The sheer weight of this massive Xenowyrm's egg had created a crater within the lava cave deep beneath Damian's oasis, and as he grew, he only expanded the crater's radius and depth. He lies at the bottom, coiled in a tight circle with his head at the center, snout pointing upwards at the opening above him, jaws open, ready to devour anything that falls in. As such, the Pit itself is often viewed as an extension of Moto, rather than his home. The Pit and the dragon are one. No creature has spoken to him. Not many view him as a dragon at all. He is a natural trap, a force of nature, as part of the earth as the magma he rests on.
