Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

To capture her prey, the zombie dragon Mazuku emits odorless gases that collect in the low-lying areas. When the prey enter the pockets of oxygen-deficient air, they quickly pass out and die. Then Mazuku enters the areas and consumes the flesh of the fallen. When she is done eating, she moves onto another area, not enough intelligence left to realize that there may be more prey in the area.
