Gilded Bloodscale Dragons often spend hours investigating every minute detail of caves, making sure their living spaces are arranged exactly how they like. They crave intellectual stimulation and get bored easily. As such, these dragons prefer to lure in their prey using their sharp minds rather than brute strength, often engaging in battles of wits between their two heads to determine how best to proceed. Seen as eccentric by other dragons, they are often shunned by all but their own kind.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Frank and Stein as they are known among their fellows in the cave, are a gilded bloodscale with an unfortunate reputation. He doesn't intentionally cause trouble, the problem is that he often doesn't know when to leave things well enough alone. Above all, he is known for his rather insatiable curiosity... a trait that he shares with his gilded bloodscale brethren, it is true, but one that he seems to have in even greater measure than most. Once he has set his mind upon finding out some piece of knowledge, no matter how obscure, it is said that absolutely nothing and no one will stop him from studying and experimenting upon the subject until he has accomplished what he was after. More times than not this single mindedness leads to trouble, and more than once has he been called before the shimmerscale court to answer for the consequences of his experimentation. Some blame the zombies that haunt the burial place of the JavaTiger Clan on his work, though others say this is all nonsense.
