Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.

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.

The Silver Serpent Of Nocturne was named after the great metal beast that Ferrus Manus defeated by drowning in a river of lava, gaining his famous Iron Hands in the process. Hearing this story many times hasn't done much for Silver Serpent's opinion on fire dragons in general or the almost fanatical Iron Hands warrior The Talons Of Ferrus in particular, especially as the Silver Tinsel is awfully fond of reminding him at random moments. In fact, he is the least popular and least trusted of all the Imperial Dragons, his empathy with Fulgrim leading many to believe that he too will turn traitor eventually.
