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.

Eton is a great flyer. She loves the outdoors and is often out there for hours, occasionally stopping to preen herself. Her name, Eton-Juwo, roughly means 'morning sage', though her master named her Eton because it sounded mysterious and deep. When mating season comes around, Eton is always the last to get a mate; she will wait for other dragons to pick their mates first. This may cause a few tears but Eton has a reason. While still a young adult, she was friends with a stone dragon who left her, breaking her heart. Her dearest wish is to love. Despite gold dragons having good defense in their battles, Eton is more of a pacifist. She will always curl her warm golden tail around the small hatchlings in her master's cave.
