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.

Moltres has something of a superiority complex and will boss around some of the weaker dragons because of this. He will not boss around any dragon that stands up to him, though; his tamer speculates that he is trying to toughen up the weaker dragons, but whether or not this is true is unknown. Moltres is rather lazy, and finds lazing about in the sun or in a nice bath of magma more enjoyable to playing.
