Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

A murderer, killer. A spellcaster. A black magic wizard. A voodoo practitioner. Kira...

This is how the other dragons answer when you ask them who Shining Kira is. With terribly angry faces and posture, some don't even answer, some answer quietly, some go into a flying rage, destroying everything in sight. There is one reason why.

Shining Kira—"Kira" Japanese for "killer"—earned his name.

As an unnamed gold, and not being fussed over due to new dragons, made him go through terrible madness, killing the two new hatchlings in the process. As all gaped, he proceeded to wreak havoc on anyone in his path; and then the Honored Empress of the Cave and His Royal Rawrable Tyrantship challenged him to an unrestricted and rule-less battle. Hundreds, maybe thousands of humans and dragons came to watch(from a safe distance. After an whole three weeks of battling, Shining Kira fell, and seemed dead. He was alive, though, and immediately named Shining Kira... and banished for perpetuity.
