An almost strictly nocturnal breed, Ciriax Lindwyrms are especially attuned to the moons’ cycles. They spend nights patrolling the edges of their territory, aggressively fending off intruders while they feast on their prey. After two or three nights of feeding, often around the time of at least one full moon, Ciriax Lindwyrms retreat to the recesses of their cave or underground homes. These dragons make it particularly difficult to travel on nights that are well-lit by moonlight, often to an unsuspecting adventurer’s dismay.

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.

Greendark and Nightopal, more than anything else, mainly want to be left to their thoughts. The two heads are relatively at peace with one another, considering the duality and bickering of the heads of their mate, Luckygreen and Opalsong, and they both agree firmly on one matter in particular: the best time of the day is...well, the night. Spurning the garish light of day, they keep to themselves in the back of their family's cave whilst the sun shines, only emerging to hunt, bathe, and take care of their other duties as a border guard for the Weyr of Flame. They're not especially soft-spoken, or even shy, but due to these nighttime-only habits, most other dragons of the Weyr see Greendark and Nightopal as antisocial and aloof. They're really quite friendly. They just don't like that cursed, bright, yellow, obnoxious, altogether-too-warm sun.
