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.

Eetec is very curious and loves to be in the middle of almost everything. She likes hanging out with the Shadow Lurkers of the cave, though only some of them seem to actually like her being there. When the Shadow Lurkers have had enough of her antics, Eetec likes to follow Lars around and try to learn some of what he teaches to all the other dragons. Eetec is beautiful and kind, but not the brightest dragon, though this hardly seems like a flaw when she brings so much joy to those around her.
