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.

Dakimakura used to be a lovely pillow dragon, a favorite of the famous writer Edgar Allen Poe. He often rested against her, enjoying her comfort as he worked out his many tales of horror and intrigue and such. Her favorite writing of his was "The bells", she would often trill along as he read for audiences. Slowly her mind became as warped and strange as his, she constantly stalked him in the shadows, a menace to his own life. Little did he know that his life would come to an end at her claws, and her's at his. He was found wandering the streets delirious from the pain of the heartbreak and betrayal of his favorite dragon and her warped demise. A search was done to find the corpse but it was never found, Poe later died in the hospital Oct. 7th, and it was said there was an eerie faint trill of "The Bells" at the time of his death and ever since it was said a decaying form was often seen in the shadows around his grave, what became known as the Wretched Poe.
