It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Sihoban is a member of the Purple Draco Cave.  He is one of the few male dragons of his breed, and many dragons make fun of him for belonging to a breed of dragons that is mostly females only.  Though he never shows it, this hurts his pride greatly.  He decided to join the Herb Dragon Faction so he wouldn't be noticed much.  The Herb Faction's job is to go out and find herbs to be used by the Healing Faction.  Sihoban has the sharpest set of eyes around, and excels at this job.
