Commonly celebrated in fable stories, the majestic Noctivellus Dragon is as mysterious as the long winter nights it roams. One head gazes into the depths of time, reflecting on the past with the wisdom of countless winters, while the other looks ahead, ever watchful for the dawn of new beginnings. The fur of a Noctivellus glows with the colors of a festive winter’s eve—rich reds, deep greens, and golden hues—reminiscent of the beauty and celebration that can be found in the heart of winter. These two-headed dragons are considered guardians of transition, appearing most when the days grow short, reminding those who encounter them to reflect on the past while embracing the future. Though they thrive in the cold, these dragons exude an air of warmth and serenity, offering guidance to those at life’s crossroads.

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.

Rich and Red was adopted and raised by a copper dragon and a copper-skinned human. There were a lot of youngsters in the family to play with and learn from, though a couple of siblings displayed strange emotions around their brother that neither head understood. As a child, Rich enjoyed telling younger kids in the neighborhood amusing lies, like eating fish turns you into a fish, and there exists a tree made of elbows, and ocean waves are caused by Valkemare leaking. Red, on the other hand, would play along, but privately, he would scold Rich, saying they should be mindful of potential consequences. Many members of the family, including Mom and Dad, stayed in the same town their whole lives, but Rich and Red isn't the type to stay in one place. Once he could hunt and fly without trouble, he left home to wander the region.
