Magma Dragons are capable of withstanding the intense temperatures of their element. They live in volcanic regions, their bodies coated in the red hot magma which clings to their scales. They must leave the lava fields in order to hunt, although they require surprisingly little food to sustain their lumbering mass.

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.

Magma Vesuvius used to dream of having big fiery wings, but her species is wingless, making her feel rather rejected. She loves to swim in the lava pools near the pack's territory in the Unclaimed Lands, easily taking long, warm, enjoyable naps while her pack tends to stay awake and alert, searching for the cruel imaginary dragon that took her dream of wings. Vesuvius remembers her old life, when she and her person, a boy named Jonas, fought a war alongside some other dragons from the pack and their person, Alexis.
