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.

While Corvista may be a male dragon, it doesn't keep him from acting like a bit of a diva. He eats whatever he wants, whenever he wants, so he is by far the heaviest dragon in the cave. He also gets very angry when things aren't done how he wants them to be done. He also gets very flustered when he isn't the center of attention, when he's awake that is. He sleeps for nearly 18 hours a day, and never at the same time, or place. When he feels like taking a nap he just lays down and goes to sleep, and he sleeps hard. Not a single dragon has been able to wake him up once he's asleep. If he goes to sleep in the middle of the cave's entrance the other dragons just have to crawl over him.
