Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

It was wrong. It was horrible. It was the worst crime a dragon could commit. But he couldn't help it. Once he'd tasted it, he couldn't forget its incredible flavor. He tried to stop, but ordinary cheese wasn't good enough. He needed the cheese from a dragon made entirely of it. He needed a Cheese dragon. It was wrong. It was horrible. But he loved the taste, and something about the Cheese's dying squeal made him hungry for more. He tried to stop, but he could not. But they taste so incredible... Surely... No. He will stop. At night, the Sunstone chains himself to the wall so that no more Cheeses will die because of his horrible addiction, while he dreams of a bowl full of their eggs where he can gorge himself guilt-free.
