Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them as part of courtship, though they are typically highly-independent. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

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.

Shineclaw was her keeper's first silver dragon. Despite her beauty, she is very shy, often trying to hide away. She has little to no self-confidence and the only one who she is comfortable with is her mate, Darkefang. Her shiny scales make it hard for her to venture anywhere -not that she would WANT to, anyway-, so she contents herself with sitting on the tops of mountains, looking down at the going-ons below. Humans who notice her faint glow on the mountain-top often mistake her for a star, or the moon.
