An almost strictly nocturnal breed, Ciriax Lindwyrms are especially attuned to the moons’ cycles. They spend nights patrolling the edges of their territory, aggressively fending off intruders while they feast on their prey. After two or three nights of feeding, often around the time of at least one full moon, Ciriax Lindwyrms retreat to the recesses of their cave or underground homes. These dragons make it particularly difficult to travel on nights that are well-lit by moonlight, often to an unsuspecting adventurer’s dismay.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

During the day, this dragon hides deep in his quarters in his owner's cave, each head sleeping and dreaming of things that have happened in the past (the right head) or will happen in the future (the left head). At night he emerges to study Valkemare's twin moons (each head has a particular favorite) and the pattern of stars and uses them to interpret his dreams. His left head is the kinder one, if he dreams of a bad omen he tries to let those who would be affected know that something is coming, while his right head is more of a pessimist who figures it ought to be "Every dragon for themselves." Thanks to a bit of Gilded Bloodscale in his ancestry, he is quite picky about how his lair is organized, and loves exchanging riddles and wordplay with the other nocturnal dragons in his cave.
