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.

After hoarding thousands of gold coins, trinkets, and other goods, Trouble became so bored with it. As a young dragon, he was greedy. But the older he got, he realized that money and material objects will only cause problems. Trouble had gotten into fights with his closest friends over piles of hoard. After these depressing events, he decided that no more will he let gold and silver, platinum and crystal, diamond and pearls...get in the way of friends and family. One day, he set out to the towns, and to the poor, gave his treasures. To the rich, he left trouble. If the rich were kind, he'd leave a note saying to help the poor. If the rich were greedy like him, he'd destroy the buildings, or the riches in the locked rooms.

He later became known as Golden Trouble, a dragon with a heart of gold, caused by the trouble of greed.
