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.

Nwad spent most of her childhood playing with Ksud but the older they got the more they grew apart. While Nwad likes to spend her time in the clan's cave helping Whoopie, Ghandi and a few of the others tending the eggs enjoying their company and the gossip that comes with being part of a large clan, Ksud grew up to be a mostly solitairy hunter, killing things that are unlucky enough to cross his path or like Nwad would put it ' generally being a nasty'.
