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.

His name, meaning "Light Gold God," in Latin, was chosen for his scales' unique quality to remain just as bright and lustrous in the darkest caves as in a sunny field. He is proud, and perhaps a bit arrogant, but he means well, and is liked by everyone in the cave. While not exactly fast or stealthy, he makes up for it with his strength and fortitude, and is known for being nearly as stubborn as a Guardian dragon.
