Valentine eggs are only seen once a year. Adults’ mating seasons are very short, usually spanning a few weeks in the mid-to-late winter. These dragons were once reputed to be omens of good luck in love.

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.

Twice a month, Navel Nite joins the local town humans at the Philosophy Club for a Night of Introspection, sometimes called Navel Night when the club members are particularly self-introspective. The Meditation Club does not appreciate them appropriating the term "navel-gazing", but it's taken off, and what can they do. This dragon's birth name is nigh-unpronounceable by humans due to the necessary configuration of the speaker's tongue and throat, so she is referred by nickname when she spends time with them. Navel Nite was first called such as a tease, for taking "navel night" literally when she first learned of the event, and the name stuck.
