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.

Zydron is adept at playing all sides of a situation to get the best possible outcome for himself. He has the ability to make any dragon believe that he is on their side and working for their best interests. Zydron uses his talent for manipulation to improve his status in the Cave, working all possible angles to earn himself wealth, power, and as many mates as he wants.
