Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

The phrase "like father, like son" is in few beings truer than in this dragon. Every bit as skilled in the use of fire magic as his father, he's also every bit as awkward around pretty ladies as is his father. No matter how impressive a raging inferno he can create, no matter how lovely a work of molten gold, he inevitably becomes a squeaky-voiced and incompetent buffoon whenever a female passes near. His latest attempt at courtship ended particularly embarrassingly, with the pale-hued Ridgewing of his dreams flatly refusing to ever let him come near her again. Calcimander has spent the last several months howling in misery in his lair accordingly, and shows no signs of emerging again any time soon.
