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.

Raginralsh is a kind and helpful dragon. He often helps with daily chores and dragons who are disabled. Despite his being wingless, a magic overload caused him to be able to fly for a short time. However, to fly, he must be wet, and flying can dry him off quickly. Mean dragons and jokester Pygmies love to pull his horns and whiskers, but that doesn't stop him. He often wishes Sejkt would stop admiring her own shiny hide and hating his to actually see the world. He thinks she would make a great helper and that her hurting others back doesn't help a thing. Some spread rumors that he secretly likes the Tinsel, and he neither denies nor confirms these accusations.
