Turpentine Dragons are named for the oil that covers their scales. This oil resembles turpentine in odor and is mildly toxic; it will not kill but it burns to the touch and will cause illness in anyone who ingests it. Turpentine Dragons roam in large packs, often stealing food from larger dragons, though they are able to hunt for themselves if necessary. Many other breeds consider Turpentine Dragons to be pests, so they primarily breed among themselves.

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.

Magine loves to snarl at people for no reason. Though he was a relatively decent kid, he has easily adapted to the gang-like lifestyle of the Turpentine pack lead by Villain and Lies. He tends to be an "average" member of the pack, neither too high nor too low in the pecking order but, as a result, facing frequent small scuffles for his moderate rank. He's known for being rather animalistic and loves to get into fights with non-Turpentines, often as a way to practice fighting with weaker adversaries (who don't always agree to the battle). Though a loyal member of his pack, he can occasionally befriend like-minded rogues who enjoy sparring as much as he does.
