Golden Wyverns are known for their beautiful metallic scales and rumored magical abilities. Living high in the mountains, these dragons do not believe in killing for sport or pleasure. They will hunt only when hungry and defend themselves when provoked, but will avoid killing to the best of their abilities. Golden Wyverns often mingle with other dragons of similar color and take pride in their shimmering hide.

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.

Strongclaw is very, very strongly attracted to shiny things. If he sees something glinting in the light, he just has to have it. Silly little notions like ownership don't matter to him, at least when things belong to other beings. He'll fight (almost) anyone to get their shinies away from them.

One of his most daring and impressive feats involved snatching a crown without harming the king who was wearing it at the time. That king's revenge has been stalled by the inaccessible nature of Strongclaw's lair, high on an unscaleable mountain peak.

For obvious reasons, Strongclaw does not get along with the Corvid sisters, the flock's Heartstealers. He's threatened to rend them limb from limb if he ever catches them taking from his hoard again. If he wants to give away parts of his hoard, and he frequently does, he will do it himself, without the aid of meddling little manifestations of holiday spirit.
