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.

Umembili is nothing less than a maniac. He disappeared from his home cave the day he hatched and only reappeared when he reached adulthood to bombard it with lightning. He loves a good thunderstorm, especially when aimed at a forest or civilized area. It is even rumored that he takes young dragons captive just to shock them senseless in private. Mototatu, the benevolent Magma dragon, clashes with him often in an effort to maintain some semblance of order. He lives on a rocky peak, high above a charred forest of his own making.
