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.

This dragon is a rare subspecies of gold, a nocturnal strand that loves nothing more than staring at the stars overhead for hours upon hours. Pyremoon's love for the gleaming heavens is matched only by his delight in fire. He is so fascinated by the blazes that he sometimes forgets to go hunting until they die down. Villagers aware of this habit of his have gotten into the habit of lighting fires at night to attract him; he is a friendly, loyal creature, and will help out humans in their times of need.
