Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

A gold dragon with a once very bold name. Now she has changed her own name to Skin Deep Beautie because she views herself as an ugly creature. Although all the others comment on her glowing scales, she doesn't believe them. She hates her own kind because of their natural beautey; she feels like they, along with her, did not earn.
