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.

Gullfoss is a majestic looking dragon, all shiny and gold. He preens his golden scales till they reflect images like a mirror. As he struts about the cave, he hums a joyous tune keeping tempo with it. He is a happy fellow, stopping often to chat with any dragon he passes. The lake is his favorite spot, and he visits it every day. There he can sit for hours, admiring not just the beautiful scenery, but also his wonderous reflection. He turns this way and that, trying to decide which is his 'best side'. Ah Gullfoss, you are a handsome dragon!
