Thunder Dragons are the masters of electricity. Their wings gather energy as they soar through the clouds, and when they clap their wings together they can create devastating arcs of lightning. They can stay airborne nearly indefinitely, landing only to sleep and breed; they catch their prey from the air and take moisture from the clouds. A thunder dragon’s roar is considered to be an omen of misfortune.

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.

An extremely proud and vain dragon, Shocking has been compared to Lumina dragons at times. She has right to be proud, though. As Smallguy's first cave born thunder dragon, Shocking has been pampered since birth, only fed the most choice clicks and views. As a result, Shocking has grown to be one of the proudest dragons on Smallguy's scroll. Ironic, really, as she is rather small for her kind, and not as powerful as she would like to believe. Still, her delusions are rather harmless, and she is not harmful to those around her, so there is no reason to tell her otherwise.
