Turpentine Dragons are named for the oil that covers their scales. This oil resembles turpentine in odor and is mildly toxic; it will not kill but it burns to the touch and will cause illness in anyone who ingests it. Turpentine Dragons roam in large packs, often stealing food from larger dragons, though they are able to hunt for themselves if necessary. Many other breeds consider Turpentine Dragons to be pests, so they primarily breed among themselves.

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.

Honey Jar Thief was named for her habits of eating honey and stealing jars of it when they weren't 'dragon proofed.' She's one of the first four of the Pillow Monarchy but is often found outside of the cave, stealing the honey from local beehives or even a distant farmer's kitchen.

Many of the offspring she had with her mate, Scarlet Green Fever, seem to have either inherited or learned this trait. Even he, although extremely reclusive, will occasionally join her in one of her many raids. When possible, they will bring extra loot back to the Cave, and her name is often tied to the title of "Treasure Hunter" for the liquid gold she collects.

However, she does play a major role in scouting lands outside of clan borders, either warning the cave of dangers to come or accidentally warning the locals of the Honey Thief close by.
