Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Zintero always claimed that he was meant for an entertainer's life. He often joked about running off to join one of the traveling draconic troupes, though Magehaven Island was short enough on dragons by that point that he never seriously considered leaving. Many of the more serious dragons looked down on Zintero, especially Szica, and few besides his mate mourned when the forest swallowed him. The forest took an eye, but not his optimistic nature, and when he emerged many years later, he found that the new residents were much more his sort of dragon. His performances entertain everyone at Dragonhaven Island, young and old alike, and his kindly disposition helps bring troubled new arrivals out of their shells. Zintero has considered making an artificial eye to replace the one the forest stole from him. However, since his sight is permanently gone on that side, he's made himself an assortment of decorative eye patches instead—one for every mood, whim, and special occasion.
