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.

Rex Earendil Githoniel is the lifemate for Regina Maria Evenstar, the Alpha Female of their squadron. He does not hunt as often as most Gold Wyverns due to the fact that people keep turning up to present his squadron --his mate in particular-- offerings of spiced meat. Despite lacking the status of Alpha Male in the squadron, he has still managed to recruit an impressive number of Silvers and Gold Wyverns to become members of the horde.
