Temple Wyrms are a calm, docile, and rather amiable breed. They are quite reclusive, and rarely seen, but when encountered, will often guide travelers through their territory safely, or even advise them to the best of their ability. They tend to take up residence in ruins of old human settlements, particularly temples, and this is where the name comes from: explorers discovering an old abandoned temple, and being surprised by the wyrm living there. They’re very intelligent, and their two heads work well together. Temple Wyrms are skilled with light magic, and decorate their homes with glowing motes of light to keep them illuminated at all times. These dragons have a very dangerous neurotoxic venom, but are so calm that they’re disinclined to bite except in self-defense.

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.

Shifter is a reclusive and antisocial wyrm. He prefers to hull up in the safety of an enclosed space and isolate himself. That said, he is reasonably friendly toward those that approach him, if not very awkward. He possesses a meek, quiet voice than can't hardly be heard, despite him having two entire voice boxes. Shifter also enjoys dry heat. He will tolerate more humid jungle climates, but, given the choice, he will always flock to a dry desert. The only times Shifter will willingly leave his den is to hunt for food and sun bathe. He'll laze about for hours on end, soaking in as much sunlight as possible. Then, once night falls or the weather turns, he'll bask in the light of his own magic instead.
