Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

She holds herself high and mighty- for she is a dragon, after all. Although, she wouldn't consider herself to be just any dragon but rather one with the most beautiful scales; the color of sand when she glides cleanly deep over a pool and the lightest hint of sunlight on clouds. The way she twists and twirls her body seamlessly in water seems more than just beauty itself, her long serpentine body moving much like a ribbon spun in a loop. With this, she glides and pulls herself smoothly along the riverbanks and the beaches, her mane and whiskers of jagged moon glass flowing along with the ebb of water. Just like that, she clicks her teeth once, twice, and then emerges up from the water, the small droplets flicking off her gilded scales in trillions. Never does her body stop its twisting motion as she slides back into the water, gracefully, silently, the sun catching each one of her shimmering scales and refracting it back above the rippling stream.
