Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

Estrela do ouro is reserved and shy. He finds himself incredibly attached to Lemon Leaf, his mate, and often remains next to her burrow for days hoping that she will come out of her underground cavern and come see him. His modesty and loyalty often cover the fact that he's incredibly brave, strong, and kind. Other dragons that know him often enjoy his friendship and his advice. They feel comfort in knowing that in a battle, he would be a friend and not a foe.
