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.

Lucinda and Genie are probably the deadliest duo in Wayside Haven. Not only are they physically powerful due to their spiked tail, horned head, and sharp claws, but they are also excellent at brewing poisons. However, they do not use their skill at killing to harm their dragon community. Rather, all of Lucinda's and Genie's extracts are tested on animals. They sell their healing and cooking potions to make a little profit while keeping their deadliest elixirs to themselves. Lucinda has recently been pushing to start selling these too in light of the unrest that faces the nest. Genie still insists that she will not go for that unless Lucinda beats her at chess. After three stalemates in a row, Lucinda and Genie are at an impasse, stockpiling deadly chemicals for an as of yet undecided plan.
