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.

Rather small for a Purple dragon, Beldam is very swift and flies through the skies over celebrations in the area around the castle Irkle, Darzee, and Lancehead work at. The first child to see her in the dusk light of the celebration night gets a dragon scale from her, which glows with strange and comforting patterns like spirals, which lull the child to sleep, generally increasing the life of the child.
