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.

Pynq is descended from a line of silver tinsel dragons and cave-born pink dragons that leads back to Penk, the pink silver tinsel dragon. He hopes to find a mate like himself one day, with silver and something special in their blood. He hopes to find a female pink partner who is not his mate to help with the very important task of determining the gender of important eggs. After all, it is their entire future he is controlling. He is somewhat bossy and manipulative, but he does not think that he is. He resents dragons calling him "girly," and always gets back at them in some sneaky way where they know it was probably him but can't prove any accusations.
