Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Lightning Liege is the second Electric dragon to hatch into the Elvarya clan. Almost immediately after maturing, he was ranked quite high in the clan's hierarchy because of the influence of the current Alpha of the clan, another Electric dragon, who goes by the name Spark of Honor. Lightning Liege bears common personality traits of his breed-fierce, protective, loyal, and motivated. As a hatchling, not knowing of his parentage, Lightning Liege was taken in and cared for by Spark of Honor. Females in the clan seem fond of him and he seems to like them equally as much.
