Desipis Dragons are an extremely dangerous breed, synonymous with the paths of desolation they leave in their wakes. These gargantuan beasts are infamous for their innate ability to control and manipulate the minds of others, which they use to pulverize the sanities of their foes and forge false memories. This power is especially effective on the foolish, and only the strongest-willed individuals have been known to resist a Desipis’s cunning. Most who anger Desipises do not live to tell the tale. Desipis Dragons are especially feared for their uncanny power of absorbing the magic of others with the fire they breathe and converting it into the bright reserves of crystallized mana that decorate their bodies.

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.

Badder is a nasty piece of work, definitely not a dragon one would ever want to meet. However, among Desipises, he is seen as a bit weird. Despite his immense size, he startles easily and tries to avoid conflict. He also likes to collect only mana that are shades of blue and green and sometimes even sniffs dismissively at a magical target when he discovers it's carrying only those of the incorrect colors. He'll dine on the corpse but leave the crystals for whoever wanders through the area next. If other Desipises were to take enough of certain mana types to have visibly blue or green stores on their bodies, Badder would gladly kill and cannibalize them to make that mana his.
