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.

Meat was the left head (her left) and Fish the right head (her right) at birth, but they've swapped the names so many times that they don't remember who started out with which. Good thing no one in the territory cares as long as the whole dragon is "Meat and Fish". Her housemate, the only other Gilded Bloodscale around these parts, got a bad reputation for himself by frequently changing names completely and getting angry, sometimes loudly so, when other dragons couldn't keep up. Meat and Fish doesn't like her housemate much and is a touch annoyed that they were only assigned a living unit together because they're the same breed. When she's outside and interacting with other denizens, they sometimes talk to her about her activities and job as if she were the other guy, and she realizes she's being mistaken for him. Whenever she corrects them about who's who, she figures explaining which head is Meat and which is Fish (and that they swapped names again) is probably not a good idea.
