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.

Rugged and powerful in build, this dragon seems like something out of a lost age. Often seen flying at sunset, he has never spoken a word, and seems concerned with nothing but hunting and finding a mate. Some believe he's a throwback to the past, some peculiar subspecies that never evolved the intelligence so fundamental to dragonkind; these speculations are encouraged by his habit of attacking any other dragons that wander into his territory, a behavior not usually associated with his breed.
