Gold dragons are the ones most often killed by humans, who consider their scales to be extremely valuable. These golden scales grant them a high level of protection, similar to armor, and they use this to their advantage in battle.

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.

For example, when her master treats the gold clan to ice cream, it has to be sold at a specific store, be a specific brand, flavor, and in a specific size cup or she will not eat it. Even on broader decisions such as who to mate with; Picky has already rejected many mates before selecting a modest vine dragon who is just as fussy.
