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.

Brazen Burning Flames never introduces herself with her full name. Instead, she prefers to only say, "Flames". Unlike her attention-loving mate Glitch, Flames believes the less someone knows about you, the better. She only has a few close friends, and anyone she hasn't known for at least a year, she treats with the same cold shoulder she would give a stranger. Flames is not being paranoid, as she did love the attention because of her beautiful scales and impressive fire magic. She just believes in trusting your companions. Her son, 9000 Plus, is one of the only dragons she really cares for. Though the attention their family gets is not Flames's favorite, she wishes Glitch would give it up for their son. 9000 Plus hates being the center of attention, and so Flames keeps a wall of fire blocking off the family's cave at all times.
