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.

Kuss is one of the most attractive dragons in Laura-Lana's clan. He is tall and elegant. The crystals on his body gleam in all shades of pink and form beautiful patterns.

Most of the female dragons in the clan demand a kiss from him sooner or later. If he protests, they point out that his name literally means kiss. At first that reasoning amused the sweet natured dragon, but by now even his patience is at an end. He'll decide himself who he'll to kiss and who not.
