Cassare Dragons are known for their magic-deadening abilities. Though not a conscious ability, a large field surrounds the dragon through which magic is passively nullified. This field is strongest near the dragon itself, and falls off with distance. The absence of magic often makes other creatures avoid them, though some will have the opposite reaction and seek refuge instead. It has also caused them to be hunted, as though the field is severely weakened once dead, their bones and scales retain some of the effect. Possessing such an item is considered a necessity by those who expect to face hostile magic.

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.

Digrat digs a lot for seemingly no reason, and he's often seen with a sturdy hat and spade. When he comes across travelers in a cave or somewhere mountainous, there's a good chance he'll grab them all against their wishes and burrow. When everyone's above ground again, they're a random but significant distance away outside the cave, any progress wiped out. Those who know Digrat generally dread meeting up with him while traversing, since they can't put up a force field or cast invisibility to hide. However, many don't want to complain too much; otherwise, there may be a time they get lost or trapped, and Digrat isn't around to aid them. He's a mixed blessing.
