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.

Kanchanos is an elder on Dragon Isle. He spends his days submerged in the salty seas surrounding the island, only emerging to socialize with others. He is a friendly dragon, always happy to tell tales of his life before he came to the isle. Unlike other elders, he doesn't sleep much, preferring to hunt and play games.

Kanchanos is considered a god to some because of his beautiful and reflective scales. He denies this profusely, promising the residents of the island that he is simply a mere dragon like them. A humble and friendly dragon, he gets along well with most of the island's residents.
