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.

Yoko had once been a normal purple dragon, quiet and demure. She likely would not have been notable had she not been the first on the scene when Twitchy Pile, a vampire, snapped and began to kill hatchlings. Unfortunately, her lack of experience made it a horribly one-sided fight, and she lost her life before an older dragon could come to stop the carnage. A-chana, the scrollkeeper, took a crash course on revival spells that even dragons couldn't do, and made an attempt to save the fallen. It backfired horribly, and Yoko is proof of it. She tends to be avoided because of her looks and smell, but her violent nature gives good reason to do the same. There's usually a white dragon staying in the area in case she does attack someone. Once in a while, her original shy, humble, and timid personality will show, but this moment of lucidity never lasts. In the end, she's a victim of fate, not alive but not dead, and only able to take this frustration out with violence.
