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.

Tears of Sundance likes to keep herself to herself and is fairly quiet, although when they mention chocolate she cannot help but join in. She prefers Galaxy to Cadbury's but will not refuse Lindt Lindor. She has a breeding partner in star before darkness and always produces Gold hatchlings. Usually a litter of four Golds at a time. Her children Dancefloor Diva and Road Runner are both Golds and always have fun raiding her secret stash of chocolate!
