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.

Spark Fire, much to the dismay of his father Electrifying Menace, is not at all talented with the females. He is clumsy, shy, and completely spineless. If it weren't for the protection of his mother, his father would've killed him out of shame for creating him. Although Spark wishes things were different, he knows in his heart that he doesn't have his father's confidence or his mother's power. So instead of trying to earn his father's respect, Spark plays childish games with the pygmies, wondering what the rest of his life will entail.
