Mutamore Dragons are a mostly solitary breed, preferring to be alone in the waterways of the world for most of the year. However, when winter begins to wane, these normally grouchy dragons undergo a massive personality shift and become excessively chipper and incredibly social with the solitary focus of pairing up themselves—and other—dragons. They become such annoyingly happy and persistent match-makers that other dragons have been known to pretend to be pairs when one is in the area, just to avoid the attentions of the Mutamore Dragons. This temporary pairing up tends to lead otherwise disinterested dragons into a better appreciation of one another, resulting in lasting relationships. This has given the Mutamores the false reputation of being good at match-making.

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.

6CcrY likes to quarrel. Any opportunity for an argument is, for him, a good opportunity. He takes after his maternal grandfather in his propensity for bothering people, too. His goal is to be so unpleasant that he makes those around him cry. When late winter comes and mutamores come into their cheery season, suddenly the sights and sounds of crying cause him to do everything he can to make the sad individual happy again. Whatever the season, he reads a lot of tear-jerker books. He went to the Open Medical University in Nworset where he studied to become an expert on tear ducts, but he decided a medical career wasn't for him when he got to the class concerning the inevitable failures that even the best doctors experience. Instead, he moved to Lloyprij and got a job at a restaurant chopping onions. Some say that he will find true love for himself when he meets someone who cries when they are happy.
