Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

ShimmerShadow is a gorgeous Shimmer-scale Dragon with a kind heart. She is very generous, gifting her eggs to responsible and kind humans that will take good care of them. She is very careful, making sure that they know not to let the egg or hatchling get sick, and have adult dragons around to help keep it safe. ShimmerShadow also really likes to catch fish, swirling after them with lightening speed and deft movements. She eats most of the fish she catches, but on really good days she catches enough to share with the other dragons in her cave at their communal dinner. She loves when she's able to share her meals, but it doesn't happen often because the big tasty fish she loves are so fast.
