Kohraki Dragons silently stalk their prey, concealed within the thick, rolling fog that blankets autumn forests. They prey on the lost and unwary, luring them close by mimicking familiar voices and sounds before swallowing them whole, leaving no trace behind. Bustling, warm villages have been left silent and cold after particularly foggy nights, their inhabitants having fallen prey to swarms of Kohraki Dragons. After, these dragons disappear as quickly as they come, leaving behind only unease and footprints.

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.

One day, Utezdo saw a half-grown white dragon alone in the woods. Unconcerned, he swooped in and swallowed it. The white dragon promptly cast an anti-heartburn spell to neutralise Utezdo's stomach acid, and followed it with a spell to induce vomiting that was developed to get poisonous substances out of a patient's gullet and prevent further toxins from being absorbed. Thus, Utezdo barfed up the hatchling unharmed and was too miserable afterwards to attempt to re-eat it.

Since then Utezdo has become convinced that all white dragons are evil. This has led to problems in areas with many genuinely-benevolent whites, but in places frequented by the likes of Thyras, his aversion has kept him out of trouble. He travels a lot to escape hunters who don't like human- and wyrmling- eating dragons and to spread his warnings to fear the evil white dragons.
