Sunrise Dragons are closely related to sunset dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunrise Dragons prefer to live in large groups and enjoy basking in the early morning sun. They are usually most active in the morning, and go to sleep in the early evening.

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.

Morning Knight considers himself particularly important in the protection of the cave. With Dawn Knight Dorkface, he patrols the borders of the dragons' territory in the early morning's light, when many dragons are blinded by the intensity of the light, which has no effect on the sunrise dragons. Morning Knight and Dawn Knight Dorkface practice signal calls for several hours every day, improving their abilities in projection across the valleys of the dragons.
