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.

GoldWing Shimmering, or just GoldWing, has a scar on her left eye from when she was young. She never trusted humans because they hurt her as a hatchling: one had caused the scar with a vampire dragon that nearly killed her. One day, she was found by a different human that told her she could trust them. She had refused, and simply watched the human play with their other dragons day after day, until finally GoldWing decided they could be trusted and appeared willingly. Ever since, she has been living happily, and appreciates all nature... Apart from vampires.
