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.

Pokeweed is named after a poisonous berry. She is cruel for a Golden Wyvern, and will shamelessly force the berries down the throats of those who defy her her rights. Many say she is defying her foes' rights in doing this, but Pokeweed feels that she is only defending herself. Perhaps she claims this only so she can get away with it; perhaps she actually believes it to be true.

But judging Pokeweed based purely on this nasty habit would not be fair to her. Truth be told, Pokeweed actually enjoys eating her namesake, and tosses the purple berries into her mouth even more frequently than she does into others'. She thinks that the berries are perfectly safe--and since she has never suffered any ill effect from eating them, it'd be difficult to accurately blame her--and thinks that others simply don't enjoy their flavor. And, well, Pokeweed is a bit of a brat. As she says, "Giving someone something they think they hate is both a way to get what you want AND open them up to new meals!"
