Sunset Dragons are closely related to sunrise dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunset Dragons generally live alone or in small packs. They are more active in the evening, hunting and performing all of their daily tasks as the sun sets.

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.

Descended from the epic, once-forbidden egg, api6, now named Lady Petra of the Forbidden, Evanidus feels that he is somehow special and destined for great things. The size of his ego rivals that of a mammoth's—proportionately speaking, of course. He likes to think that he knows everything, thus dubbed with the nickname 'know-it-all" by his fellow dragons. Evanidus has quite the attitude, constantly ignoring those he considers to be inferior, which is of course, mostly every other dragon. He looks forward to the day when his destiny will be revealed to him, proving him much more valuable than all his clan mates. The only other dragon he deems worthy of talking to is his daughter, Aurora. However, Aurora does not seem to share his opinions, and is much more friendlier with other dragons. This does, in fact, angers Evanidus and he sometimes jokes about 'disinheriting' his own daughter.
