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.

Vatiri the Golden is sure that his band of magelight pygmies is the most skilled there is, because of course they have the best possible mentor. The other dragons with devoted pygmy dragon flocks—Bavin the Blue, Rhyka the Scarlet, and Irilo the Red—have almost no magic to speak of, at least by magi dragon standards, and so can't possibly teach their pygmy dragons anything worth knowing. Admittedly, most of his vast accumulation of spell knowledge is wasted on them, but at least they can benefit from his decades of life experience. The magelights might grumble occasionally at perfectly reasonable orders, but the poor things just don't understand how lucky they are to have someone like him around.
