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.

B4RHTOLOMEW is the only dragon among  her smallish community of pure golden wyverns who is openly interested in human affairs. She prides herself in knowing many cool facts about them, like how their lives revolve around short dogs with pointed ears and that they build wooden caves close together in a group called a "town" for the purpose of easy burning down and hysteria. Most tellingly, B4RHTOLOMEW changed her name to that awful-to-read affair to demonstrate her immersion in the humans' language. She even asked an indoor human so she can get the exact pronunciation down: "Wut-suh-dra-gun-du-een-geer".
