Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Although Boomer Athena is a dragon that recently moved to the Kingdom of Wardom after the curse of King Gaius, she is already an elite. Unlike the others who also moved to the Kingdom of Wardom, Boomer Athena knew about the curse beforehand and chose to leave her underwater kingdom with all her riches rather than trying to stop the King. Because of this she is the only dragon from her realm that had anything of value when she first arrived to the Kingdom of Wardom.
