The underbelly has harder scales than the rest of the body.
Three digits on each wing, with a small claw-like digit at the central joint.
Eyes have slit pupils that are bright apple green.
The tail is prehensile to a degree and helps steady movements.

Hatchling Behavior

Hatchlings are timid but curious.
At a young age, scales start out sharp.
When encountering other metallic dragons, Golds become very talkative.
Give them a shiny stone and you’ll entertain them for days.
They can’t do much flying until the twin dorsal fins are long enough.
Golds are natural leaders in the dark because of how their scales reflect light.
As they near adulthood, they can become rather bossy to their fellow hatchlings.
Why, of course you should adore Golds. They’re positively perfect in every way.

Being hunted for their lustrous scales has made them tend to avoid humans.
