Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Mike is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. His egg was found on a mountain and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once he matured, he found his lifemate, a Guardian dragon, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the AnselaJonla flock, both dragons took the same name, Halojym, to pass down to any of their offspring that remained within the flock.

Not a day goes by without Mike dumping a large animal in the hatchling cave for the younger dragons to eat. He prides himself on his hunting skills, and considers the entire day a failure if he fails to make a kill on his first dive.

This pride means he refuses to target anything but the biggest males with the largest pointy bits sticking out of their heads. As a result he spends a lot of time in the company of Alfie as his resulting injuries are healed.
