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.

Karthspire's minds aren't as unified as their one name. They absolutely despise each other and frequently fail at hunting due to them volleying insults between them and scaring off prey. These two often blame their empty belly and protruding ribs on each other. Their tail is also a source of much discontent; whichever head is controlling it is usually the more dominant one of the moment. When nipping at each other's cheeks gets boring, they'll alternate thwacking their tail around instead. It's not uncommon for Karthspire to go plummeting down to the ground when one head stops moving a wing to spite the other in flight.
