Gilded Bloodscale Dragons often spend hours investigating every minute detail of caves, making sure their living spaces are arranged exactly how they like. They crave intellectual stimulation and get bored easily. As such, these dragons prefer to lure in their prey using their sharp minds rather than brute strength, often engaging in battles of wits between their two heads to determine how best to proceed. Seen as eccentric by other dragons, they are often shunned by all but their own kind.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Hellsieng's a Gilded Bloodscale Dragon who loves setting elaborate traps for the sake of watching travelers, prey and dragons alike burn to death. Some traps tend to be more lethal to certain subjects than others. He dislikes confrontation and has no real ambitions in life besides watching many living things suffer at his claws and having his meat cooked into a black crisp. His mate, Hellsi, often chides him, arguing that he ought to not eat the blackened crisps that are the only fruit of his lava-flow traps. However, he is unbearably stubborn, so she tried another tactic... adding delicate spices to gently cooked meats. Because of her concern, and wit, it is now possible to cross paths with Hellsieng as long as you offer him gifts of precious spices that would burn in the lava.

A part of Hellsieng has grown fond of spicy meats, while the other part just wants to make his mate happy, and will become very cross when someone, dragon or man challenges his mate's cooking.
