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.

Disremember is kind and sociable, but he's seen as a simpleton by many other dragons. He forgets easily and seems to have trouble keeping more than a few major concepts in his head, as if he completely pushes something to the back of his mind if he needs to hold onto something new. Only when he thinks long and hard does he recall that thing, even if he's actually known it since he was small. Disremember calls everybody he knows "You" and cannot hold a conversation for more than a minute before he has to be reminded what it's about. He never gets bored because there's always a "new" piece of treasure in his lagoon despite him having stopped collecting items for his hoard years ago.
