Sunsong Amphipteres are an unusual breed. Due to light interference caused by their magical nature, they don’t seem to be affected by any ambient light source. However, when struck by direct sunlight, they shine a brilliant gold. They are playful and ever in flight; their ethereal and mysterious appearance and the fact that they are usually only seen at a distance have led many to believe they are a symbol of hope and good fortune.

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.

The descendant of the great golden dragon Apollo, this flamboyant and highly egotistical dragon often brags that his ancestry causes him to gleam like gold, twirling and whirling in the sunlight to prove it. The less than impressed remarks of others that ALL sunsong amphipteres glow golden in the light does nothing but outrage him, leading to either sassy remarks about other people's mothers or the entering of a highly despondent, moaning state from which only the concern of a very beautiful lady dragon can restore him.
