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.

Volteara is a black and yellow dragon with fiery white eyes. Her body is always crackling with electricity, and although she never intends to harm anyone, she may shock another dragon with a stray jolt or two when startled, frightened, or angered. Volteara is a quiet and secluded dragon, preferring to remain by herself rather than be in the company of others. She is often found reading a good book in a corner of the cave. While she is careful not to release too much of her energy in the cave, Volteara will fly into the clouds during a thunderstorm and release electricity into the surrounding atmosphere. Despite her rather brilliant coloring, she has proved to be a quiet, stealthy, and efficient hunter with her control over electricity. When she is not alone, Volteara prefers to be with Meanira, the younger electric dragon in the cave, and Maellana, the thunder dragon. Volteara is often outspoken and shy, although she is kind and outgoing with the other dragons in the cave.
