Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

"Swirly Girl" is a small, fragile, and unusually wise Pink Dragon, except for a few quirks. She is a great lover of all dragonkind, but will fight fiercely if threatened. Although she is weak, her magic is a powerful weapon, and she will not hesitate to use it in self-defense. She often has to be reminded to eat, and for some reason seems to think that anyone who is tanned, fat, and wearing a bikini is her mother. That is why she is not allowed near any swimming pools or beaches. She often has to be forced to drink and bathe, because she is terrified of the water, which she thinks will suck her in if she gets too close.
