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.

It's always obvious when one is walking by Scarletquest and Brighteyes' personal cave. Scribbled bits of poetry line the walls, and an achingly sad sighing indicates their cave from a good distance away. Melancholy seems to permeate the very air around them. Much of this, for a long time, was because they were in love with Crimsonsnap and Redknow, the bookish researcher dragon who never seemed to spare them a second glance when they saw each other. Maybe that was because they were peering from around corners.

After many years of pining, they finally got up the courage to share their feelings with the dragon of their affection. Initially they were reprimanded for hovering and never speaking, calling such behavior 'absurd' and 'creepy,' but after Scarletquest and Brighteyes apologized profusely, Crimsonsnap and Redknow agreed to give them a chance. Fortunately, despite the initial fumbling, their relationship has grown quite close. Most of their sighs these days are sweet and domestic.
