Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

"We wants it, we needs it. Must have the chocolate. Curse us and crush us, my chocolate is LOST!" So goes the familiar wail emanated by Precious; while a normal and respectable heartseeker on many accounts, he has an unnatural obsession with chocolate, and an even greater obsession with a famously delicious chocolate of legendary reputation that he once owned. He claims this chocolate was stolen by a fat little pygmy dragon thief by the name of Boggins, but most are pretty sure Precious really just ate it. Whatever the truth might be, what time he doesn't spend guarding his hoard of chocolates or bringing love to others he spends hunting for his missing morsel, always while coughing "Ghirardelli, Ghirardelli" deep in his throat.
