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.

Shimmer-scales are beautiful dragons, and Moon is no exception. Many of her clan-mates enjoy watching her swim, mainly because of the way her form shines in the water. However, the moment she lifts her head out, they all flee. Whilst she is indeed a gorgeous creature, her personality is completely rotten. Petty, violent and dangerous, the majority of the clan members are frightened by this shimmer-scale, because in the past she has tried to drown clan-mates before over something silly like a disagreement. As a result, many do their best to avoid her.
