Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Benjamin is a very caring soul. Because of his pink scales, the other dragons on the island were wary of him to begin with. Some refused to believe he was male, others thought that he was originally a red dragon and that something terrible must have happened to him.

He is close friends with Zechariah and Esther—as they were among the first to accept him as he was. He also made friends and then fell in love with their daughter, Elisheba. What doesn't help his reputation however, is that the only child of his to have remained on the island is female.
