Electric Dragons wield electricity with great prowess. Bright sparks race across these dragons’ bodies in a dazzling dance of light, complemented by the blindingly radiant sparks on their tails. Using their bellies and manes as stores for this electrical energy, Electric Dragons wield crackling magic, stunning and electrocuting their prey with a whip of their tail. During mating season it is typically those with the most brilliant sparks—an indicator of strength and hunting ability—that are drawn to each other.

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.

Silver-antlered Duck believes his name is a total misnomer: he doesn't have antlers, his horns aren't silver even remotely, and he is definitely not a duck. He raises muscovies for meat, and as a side business collects pelts from the foxes who regularly attempt to attack his flock. Fans of Carmen and the Ducks are often a bit concerned about the muscovies as a meat animal, but Silver-antlered Duck explains that the muscovies are a different species, comparable to the relationship between the extraterrestrial chickens and the similar-looking children nuggets often found pecking and scratching on farmyards around the world. He has been trying to rebrand the muscovies by naming them some other sort of nugget, but his best idea so far, "rubber nuggets", just doesn't have the same ring to it.
