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.

This dragon eschews the salty oceans in favor of crystal clear lakes. Seen migrating with a giant white orb in her claws along a great river between lakes the size of small oceans, she became the source of rumors about great freshwater pearls. Legend has it that anyone lucky enough to capture her pearl will be granted three wishes for its return.

In keeping with her preference for clear water, this dragon has the daily ability to either produce or purify any volume of water that could be contained in a cube with each dimension equivalent to ten times her length. Fish thrive in waters near her lair.
