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.

Scare resides in a large cave, more of an underground hall-and-bunker, really. She shares it with several smaller dragons who, generally speaking, have eclectic tastes, but all have one interest in common: they volunteered to join Scare in her dank but well-kept living arrangements all because, many years ago, she meant to threaten to "ravage" them but must've misspoken, or they didn't really understand her language. Whatever she said, this resulted in housemates who just won't see that she's a nasty dragon, who are perfectly willing to do her bidding as long as they have her protection and pleasure. Scare wonders if she's somehow mind-controlling them without trying, but it seems improbable to her.
