Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Pink-fanged Menace is soft at heart, but he tries to be a pink-fanged menace. Teased by other hatchlings for being "girly" in his youth, he swore to himself that one day, everyone would cower in fear as he passed instead of call him a female. He thinks his attempts to act vicious and bloodthirsty are actually intimidating; however, whenever he tries to pull off a little show in front of his clan, they all just fall over and laugh. This makes him angry, which makes his displays even more comical, which, in turn, makes him even angrier. Because his clanmates always laugh at him, he has gotten to be somewhat of a pink-fanged menace, but he just doesn't realize that he'll never truly live up to his name.
