Failed attempts to experiment with magic often result in transforming dragons into these hellish creatures. They are extremely dangerous, and will mindlessly kill any living creature without regard to friend or foe.

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.

Gargoylaes was once a nocturne dragon. He was late to his rooftop home as the sun rose and froze mid-flight causing him to fall to his death. His distraught keeper did her best to revive him, but he returned to her as a horrid and misshapen beast. The keeper does her best to keep him corralled, often failing and finding him among her innocent thunder of dragons. Nightly the biggest and eldest of the thunder chase Gargoylaes away, but, as if to make up for his lack of punctuality in life, he roams to the spot of his death every sunrise.
