Gilded Bloodscale Dragons often spend hours investigating every minute detail of caves, making sure their living spaces are arranged exactly how they like. They crave intellectual stimulation and get bored easily. As such, these dragons prefer to lure in their prey using their sharp minds rather than brute strength, often engaging in battles of wits between their two heads to determine how best to proceed. Seen as eccentric by other dragons, they are often shunned by all but their own kind.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Argolo and Baltazhar are quite the pair. Argolo prefers contemplating possible solutions to what seem to him like important problems, ranging from how certain boulders had become located at areas void of larger rock-like masses, or why the ants in their cave prefer the dirt area on the right side. Baltazhar finds Argolo's way of reasoning rather absurd and would rather observe the same predicaments, hoping the answer will reveal itself. Baltazhar was once almost responsible for the death of the curious pair when he decided the best way to understand volcanoes would be to observe first hand their eruptions.
