Mutamore Dragons are a mostly solitary breed, preferring to be alone in the waterways of the world for most of the year. However, when winter begins to wane, these normally grouchy dragons undergo a massive personality shift and become excessively chipper and incredibly social with the solitary focus of pairing up themselves—and other—dragons. They become such annoyingly happy and persistent match-makers that other dragons have been known to pretend to be pairs when one is in the area, just to avoid the attentions of the Mutamore Dragons. This temporary pairing up tends to lead otherwise disinterested dragons into a better appreciation of one another, resulting in lasting relationships. This has given the Mutamores the false reputation of being good at match-making.

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.

The complete opposite of Lullaby, Aphrodite is a very energetic and social dragon who does not have one bad bone in his body. He is constantly shadowing Rosemary and helping her with the new eggs and hatchlings Aster decides to bring home with them. He is also the only one who can calm down Lullaby or even get close without being threatened with violence. The two have been inseparable since they were hatchlings and are very protective of one another. Aphrodite is the other male's much needed conscience. Another great quality is the extreme self-control he has acquired. Nothing any dragon says or does can get him down and he refuses to give into taunts, no matter the severity. Of course, no dragon has anything mean to say to him, and if they did, they'd do well to keep it to themselves because Lullaby is always keeping an eye out for his best friend.
