This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

A Big Deal was brought into this world with a great deal of patience, effort and irritation on the part of the scroll recorder, but because of the "special" status A Big Deal received once he was born, the other dragons absolutely despised him. Which is understandable--many dragons are revolted by the fact that A Big Deal is now interested in starting a family, of all things, and are concerned that A Big Deal will spread his strange, creepy hybrids all over their cozy cave. A petition was in the woodworks, to abandon A Big Deal intro the wasteland they call "The Wild", but once the scroll owner caught whiff of what occurred, the petition was shut down immediately, to many complaints. But A Big Deal feels that he is too pretty to care about their petty concerns, and so he remains stationed near the hatchlings that will remain eternally youthful, guiding them, despite the evidence that they are older than him by at least a hundred years, and exasperated by him.
