Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Jaima is beefy with frightening teeth, but he's a placid dragon with no strong opinion on most things. He's concerned most with the happiness of his clan, but he knows he can't please everyone and gives up arguing pretty quickly in the name of peace and quiet. That usually leads to some dragons thinking they won him over to their side, but that's OK with him because if they're happy, then he's happy.
