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 Glow once traveled the land with the nomadic Crystal Tiger Stripe. However, when their travels brought them to the island of Shield Tail and Dark Drakon's dragon herd, Morning Glow and his brother, Evening Shadow, decided to remain behind for a short time, in order to hone their magical abilities by training under Solar Sunbeam's tutelage. Morning Glow shares a strong love with his brother, Evening Shadow, and the two are never apart for long. For this reason, Morning Glow often feels sympathy for Evening Shadow, knowing that he is not happy with living alongside a large herd. To make it up to his brother, Morning Glow will go out of his way in ensuring that they have plenty of time to themselves.
