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.

Formerly a dorsal dragon, Avalon was attacked by a newly turned zombie in the cave not long after he fully matured. His keeper, Dragon, tried to save him from being turned but she couldn't stop the attack in time or even manage to divert the process of his zombification, something he has blamed Dragon for. Like the other zombie, Corosa, he too was well liked when he was alive, spending his time playing with the other hatchlings and some of the adult dragons. Now, Avalon is full of anger and hatred that no one saved him, believing that neither Dragon nor Magi's tried hard enough to stop him from becoming a zombie.
