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.

She was as old as the forest, and in the opinion of some, perhaps even older; a pale green phantom that moved between the aged trees with a lightness that belied her incredible bulk, watchful and graceful, swift to move only when dire need called her forth. Hunters who entered that woods found no quarry, outlaws who sought refuge there were swiftly exposed, and woodcutters who took no steps to replace what they had taken found the trees would not yield to their strokes. For she was the sovereign of that place, and she would allow no evil to enter it. But those who sought kinder things--the music of birds and running water, the peace of shade and sun, kinship with the world around them--would always find welcome there.
