Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Found as an egg in a terrible blizzard, Pastillage was considered by many hatchlings to be a bringer of good fortune. By the time he had grown up, nearly all his feathers had been plucked for charms, and he wasted no time in fleeing. His travels took him far and wide, picking up great skill in baking as he went. But he could never stand crowds, this fear later caused a compulsive urge to bake whenever he was frightened.

He eventually found a permanent home in the ApSci canyons, creating exquisite cakes for test subjects. Very few are ever found, though- only Chell has earned hers. Another subject has made progress, though... despite his fear of being punished, should GLaDOS find out, Pastillage has left small, sugared cakes out for the Snow Angel, Ivy. While he has never met her in person, he is at least certain she knows someone loves her...
