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.

Flashfrost Intenta-Dorkface is the son of Stormfrost Intenta-Dorkface and Tumerik Enigma, although he was raised by his aunt Diana Intenta-Dorkface and her mate Delvoth Stronghunt. His relationship with his birth parents is rather strained, as they still have no real interest in treating him as their son, and he is angered by this.

As a hatchling Flashfrost thought that perhaps if he was a hatchling forever his parents would love him, so he searched the clan's library for "freezing" magic. He stumbled upon not the magic to stop the growth of hatchlings, but ice magic. He eventually figured out that it was the wrong magic, but by this time he had grown to love wielding ice and snow magic, so continued to learn it.

His final attempt to gain his parents approval came as a young adult. He showed them his growing power over the element of ice, but when they were unimpressed he flew into a rage. His rampage over the countryside left swathes of land under deep freeze for weeks.
