Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

This dragon was named after sour, healthy fruit with good reason. Unlike many others of his kind, he has taken a bit of an obsession with health food. While the other Sweetlings may beg candy from passing human children by singing to them and cuddling up to them like an oversized baby, Cranberry just steals their apples. What's worse is he doesn't feel remorse: not even once, not even a little, not at all. He's also a terrible singer. He couldn't hold a note if it was glued to his talon. However, being a Sweetling, he does try his best to sing. Alas, his efforts are unwanted by and sorely displeasing to both his fellow Sweetling and cave-mate, Serphilius, and to every other creature with ears.
