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.

Sparks of light lit the cave where Dian Chen Ming lives in. His fellow dragon friends stay away, some sleeping in crevices. The frozen hatchlings can only stare in awe as this showy dragon let another round of sparks illuminate the cave. "Dian Chen Ming," one hatchling asks, "your name must certainly mean 'one with the light'." Actually, no. In Dian Chen Ming's name, the 'Dian' means 'electricity'. 'Chen' means 'great', or 'tremendous'. And the last word, 'Ming', means 'bright (as in 'bright light')', or 'smart'. The dragons don't know that. But Geng Shi Long, the nocturnal dragon that had turned into a statue-like thing (due to the sparks), understood why this dragon's name is in Chinese, like hers. It's because their master had run out of good names, and thus, being creative, searched online for the Chinese names. She, actually, put together words and created the names (it's not that easy). The dragons understand, hopefully. They seem content witht heir names, anyhow.
