Bolt Dragons are incredibly powerful dragons with the ability to wield lightning magic. They can be ruthless on occasion, but are generally mild unless provoked. Due to their intelligence and keen observational skills, it is incredibly arduous to attack a Bolt Dragon undetected. If threatened by a formidable opponent, Bolt Dragons will flare out their fin-like appendages to make themselves look more menacing.

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.

Unbolt is a speaker—not of anything in particular, just anything that interests her at the time. She knows two human languages and always inserts at least one pun into lectures given to a human audience: "I think this new project will electrify you." "I am a bolt dragon, so let me make this short." "Let me show you an elec-trick." "I was watching the Indianapolis Bolts this weekend..." She sometimes addresses dragons, but most of her speeches are geared toward humans because she likes making puns to them. She also finds that they're a more exciting audience, with the way they murmur and hit their hands. In some venues, they even form a moving bump by raising their arms high and standing briefly and sitting back down, which travels from one side of the crowd to the other. Sometimes, Unbolt goes to speaking events simply to witness all of their odd behavior. Of course, speeches about the weirdness of humans are directed to dragons only.
