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.

Lucky Golden Waves is considered the queen of the lair. She is a kind, motherly figure to the other dragons and is highly respected. Her scales give off a glow as she moves through water, causing the water to appear golden. Her swift movements create beautiful golden ripples and waves that are truly a sight to behold. Although the effects she has on the water are easily visible, she herself is rarely seen. She is considered to be a symbol of luck by humans who are fortunate enough to see her.
