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.

Goldfuss, also known as Fury, due to the gold flashes that appear when he flies, is the ex-leader of the Gold Clan. While he once lived with his kindred, he now resides apart from the other golds in a life of solitude. Once a fearsome and ruthless authoritative leader, Goldfuss ruled the gold clan with a noble heart, daring anyone to challenge the name of the rare and beautiful gold dragons. Fury made the clan feel proud and for a long time, golds were looked upon as a royal breed. He will never forget that night when Xythus defeated him in a battle for the throne: Xythus was immensely powerful, with seething hatred and an eagerness to kill him, so he surrendered, and quickly decided that a retirement was in order.
