Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

A laid-back sort of girl, Dapple is content to aimlessly wander through her forest, enjoying simple pleasures like the sun on her back or the taste of crisp apples. However, her dreamy demeanor vanishes rapidly whenever a winged dragon flashes by overhead, watching with rapt attention and something like longing until they vanish from her vision.
