Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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.

Some believe that Philonan cannot detect odours because she grows corpse flowers and rafflesia for those whose sense of smell draws them towards the perfume of putrefying flesh. She is in fact quite capable of identifying scents and finds the rot-mimicking fumes pleasant. Tourism is a big deal in the Madder Jungle and her farm is open for tours, though tourists don't come that often and some who thought they would like to come change their minds upon catching a whiff of her plants. She has never understood why so many of the non-banana locals complain about the green-and-yellow dragons stealing the fruit of the same name. She has never asked for restrictions to protect her from banana-stealing and has only occasionally gotten bananas stolen. This is probably due to the lowered banana density within smelling range of her flower farm. Sometimes, she will even go steal bananas from others, which she enjoys as a hobby, though she is nowhere near as enthusiastic as a banana.
