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.

Named so due to her unexpected arrival, Queen Serendipity is a delightful dragon to be around. She exudes a positive glow that is infectious. Dragons and humans in her company tend to be serene and happy. Those who are seeking conflict tend to be talked out of their pugnacious intentions by Serendipity. When Serendipity was told this by her best friends, she was already self-aware and laughed, saying, "Good! I hate being left alone!" Thus, for a dragon that needed the company of others, her personality became sweet and positive.
