Thunder Dragons are the masters of electricity. Their wings gather energy as they soar through the clouds, and when they clap their wings together they can create devastating arcs of lightning. They can stay airborne nearly indefinitely, landing only to sleep and breed; they catch their prey from the air and take moisture from the clouds. A thunder dragon’s roar is considered to be an omen of misfortune.

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.

Pidraya is a cocky and arrogant male and thinks he should be the leader of the tribe. Soy, the current leader, is wise enough to acknowledge Pidraya as a threat, though not much of one. Pidraya is young, inexperienced, and thinks that just because he is a trio dragon he can do whatever he wants. Pidraya's inability to think that he can lose or get hurt is the reason why he is so weak. As a child, he was sheltered and coddled because no one wanted to hurt the rare hatchling and this spoiled his ability to be a fighter. Soy the skywing simply dodges Pidraya's powerful but inaccurate lightning blasts and knocks the thunder dragon down to the ground for an easy victory.
