Shimmer-scale Dragons are a very beautiful breed with small—but highly reflective—scales that shimmer and shine as the dragon moves through water. They don’t have fins or webbed feet, but their long, eel-like bodies allow them to swim quite fast. They were once rumored to carry large pearls in their claws—causing many to seek them out in search of this fabulous treasure. In reality, the “pearl” is of greater value to the dragon, for the fabled treasure is actually an egg carried by a migrating female.

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.

Guardian of the Leviosa Name is a strange young Shimmerscale who enjoys building things like sand castles. She also wears seaweed on her head for decoration. She seems to hoard shiny pebbles which she finds on the beach or in the shallows of the sea and leaves large piles of them outside her cave. This Shimmerscale has also been known for burying herself in the sand and ambushing any dragon that got too close. She does it out of fun but her victims think otherwise.
