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.

Elick was born knowing he was special. Probably because his mother constantly told him so. With great-grandparents from every Sweetling color variety, he is proud to preen and show off his fine lineage. Especially to other female dragons.

Due to a fierce rivalry with the "other" Sweetling, Elick and Pink divide most of their efforts between acquiring treats, female attention, and competitive antics.

Lately, Elick has taken up a new passion—Poetry and Romance Novels. After stumbling upon a pile of books, he began investigating. Finding this amusing, his Keeper began to read to him. He was enthralled, especially with the ones about Vampires. He has never met a Vampire dragon as they are unwelcome where he lives. His most treasured books had been destined for the fire pits due to poor writing.

He will telepathically torture his Keeper by reciting Vogon-esqe poetry until she gives in to his demands to be taught more poems and stories to be used to impress his female admirers.
