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.

Victor is a bubbly, joyous, lively dragon with a contagious delight in life. His personality sparkles more than his scales do, and they shine like the sun. Since he has also got a substantial empathic gift (in addition to the telepathy shared by most dragons), anyone around him feels their mood lift. The mint dragons, with their own lively personalities, find him irresistible, and can often be found swarming and darting around him, playing complicated games. Like Bes, he appears to bring good luck wherever he goes.
