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.

Sweetlings are generally known for their beautiful melodies, but Indulge didn't get the memo. His voice is too monotonous, and if he does manage to change notes he's either too high or too low. Being unable to carry a tune, he feels a bit inferior to the other Sweetlings who use their lovely tones to attract mates. He tries to make up for this by avoiding public singing, and presenting his partners with flowers or conversations instead. This is usually an acceptable substitute, and a few females have found his inability to sing endearing even if they agree that he probably shouldn't do it too often. Despite this, Indulge has no qualms about vocalizing at the top of his lungs when he's alone and nobody can hear him.
