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.

The Spanish Inquisition is never expected. His two chief weapons are fear and surprise (though not necessarily in that order). He uses these weapons when he stalks around the caves, bursting in on wrongdoers with ruthless efficiency (THREE chief weapons) and dramatic background music, which is provided by his twin sister, Diabolical Laughter. Those who dare to refuse his demands are quickly subdued with a barrage of soft snowballs.
