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.

Flandres fancies herself highborn, but Flitz found her in a cave, without a progeny or lineage to support such claims. Her precious sheath and elegant build have made her quite aware of the attention she draws, which she doesn't mind in the slightest. Air-headed and shallow, she drowns in admiration and praise and yearns for continuous showcases of affection. Her mate is a weak Cavern Lurker named Skodistis whom she pities and looks down upon, finding him a poor match for a brave and powerful creature such as herself. But having sired all of her 6 sons she stays by his side. For years, she has been trying to catch the attention of a Tri-horn Wyvern named Ekna, their tamer's favored companion and the only dragon Flitz ever flies with, but to no avail.
