Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

This dragon ventured upon an isolated academy of magic. Seeing it as a rich source of nourishment, she promptly feasted upon it. The survivors scrambled away, minds completely disoriented and no longer able to perform the least magic.

A rescue force was sent against her, but as she was brimming with energy after her feast, they did not stand a chance against her. None of the force survived.

She has since made the academy keep her lair. Vegetation for a quarter mile around it mutated into a vast thorny wall to keep intruders out. Any foolish enough to try breaching it become her meal.
