Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Gyfendal is Skavro's third loyal follower, though why he stays with the vampire dragon is unclear.  A curse (or possibly a miscast spell) has left him sleepwalking through life, caught in the grip of a perpetual nightmare.  Gyfendal seems to be nearly unaware of his surroundings, though he will swerve to avoid trees and will eat if food is placed in front of him, and all attempts to communicate with him have failed to get any response.  His name might not even be Gyfendal, since this is just what he calls out most often.  Skavro pities him, always leaves him a share of his kills, and has never given up on trying to find a way to break through the curse.
