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.

Perhaps one of the only things most utterly disturbing than this monstrosity is the lore surrounding its creation. Whereas this mind-destroying, soul-shredding dragon is already terrifying in its horrendous power and its massive appetite for destruction, what lends this dragon its real horror is the story of how it came to be. Although the origins of this beast are shrouded in dark mysteries, the legend behind this dragon is that several occult ceremonies resulted in an insidious demon being created which eventually became this dragon. The demon had no natural body or form within this fabric of reality, and thus it resorted to possessing the pancreas of one of the cultists. This demonic pancreas then proceeded to rip itself out of the abdomen of the cultist, rapidly morphing as it grew a pair of leathery wings and a circular mouth of rotating disks of teeth. It is said for every victim claimed, the pancreas enlarged and morphed, until it reached its present form: this hideous dragon.
