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.

Andsvarr Erirling enjoys Christmas so much that he sings Christmas carols all year around. If he's working somewhere one can usually hear him singing 'Here Comes Santa Scales', 'Silent Night', 'Jingle Bell Rock', and 'Rudolf the Red Nosed Yulebuck'. Most dragons are annoyed by his constant singing despite the fact that he is good at it.
