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.

A clumsy, loving little sample of a sweetling, this gentle oaf seems to have none of the balance and agility others of his kind possess, and falls over frequently. He's always up again momentarily, however, and continues bounding along on his merry way, playing with anyone he runs across in his never-ending search for frozen sap or fruit juices. Having no aversion to humans at all, Sweetsicle is frequently 'captured' by children after he is lured out to the bait of sweet, frozen liquids they've left out for him, his favorite treat. He is then forced to play with them before he's released, although he gladly would have done that anyway.
