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.

Eostur Monath is a purple dragon that's owned by April. When she became an adult, April was immediately drawn to her beauty, which reminded April of springtime. Due to her spring-like appearance, she was named Eostur Monath, which is another name for the month of April, despite the fact that she was born in March. Eostur Monath is very quiet, and can be pretty naive at times. This has led a few dragons to falsely assume that she's stupid, even though she's not.
