Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Clya is often called a shape-shifter because, like all Golden Wyverns, she is a master of illusion. She has spent many years under the illusion of a human form trying to find a place to fit in; however, after stumbling upon the dragons of the Cave in which she currently resides, took control and removed her human guise. She loves being a dragon now and almost never uses her powers of illusion anymore. Clya watches over all of the dragons and rescues eggs and hatchlings from being killed. She is overprotective of the hatchlings and spends most of her day with them while planning the day-to-day workings of the cave.

Her scales shimmer in the sunlight and her wing span is smaller than that of the typical Golden Wyvern. She often stays with other metallic dragons, much like her kind, but tries to spend time with some of the other dragons of her Cave. She never hunts for sport and always makes sure that her friends eat before her. She is strong-hearted and very caring.
