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.

Kartuk once was a dragon of the Featherwing Weyr, though he no longer remembers his name. He died in battle, wherever his alliances lay, and now, with his undead mate and their undead hatchlings, they roam the continent, barely sentient, searching for something none of them can remember. But as far as undead, battle-slain dragons go, the Zombies make up a fairly happy family.
