Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Magma Smartie was so named for his attraction to tomes of knowledge. However, his molten carapace often hindered his hankering for reading, and he burned any books he crawled across as a hatchling. Luckily, he managed to persuade several kind-hearted Magi dragons to enchant quite a few other books to ward off his molten claws. As an adult, he often has trouble reading, squinting at impossibly small lettering with a book practically sitting atop his snout.
