Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

Z'Marelau plays a local sport—Ochkeball—with the other dragons in his community. This sport involves the dragons passing a ball to each other using only their tails. Two dragons hover on either end of the playing area and do their best to prevent the dragons on the opposing team from smacking the ball past them.

Z'Marleau is one of the best players of the sport. He is the current captain of his team.
