Storm Dragons are the masters of the skies. They are excellent fliers and land only to rest and eat. In addition, they have full control of the weather. They are very hot-tempered and easily angered. They will attack any human that bothers them, conjuring strong winds and dangerous lightning.

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.

As the first egg of the De clan to be recruited, the second to hatch and mature, Denoche shares a fairly lukewarm rivalry with his more stoic surrogate brother, Descudo the Guardian dragon. Desombra, the oldest of the De clan females and another Gray like himself, is often seen as Denoche's slightly more level-headed better half despite not being related in any way save species, a fact that doesn't escape, nor amuse, him. As for the rest of the clan, Denoche sees them as pests he has no choice but to watch over, if only so they don't go "and get themselves killed". He lies about caring, of course -- a fact Desombra will never falter to point out if only for his reaction. <br/> Recently Denoche had been pestered about what he thinks of the fact that Deraiz, the crazy female vine dragon, apparently likes him...and the rumor that the gray and dark green eggs found nearby to be abandon were his. Denoche had said no...rather, via a hailstorm aimed at the ones asking him.
