Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

While some terrae dragons are content to live in just about any forest, some are self-proclaimed guardians of their forest homes, protecting the plants from harm. Bezirksschornsteinfegermeister has decided to take that a step further. She knows a lot of pollution comes from humans, who burn and dump things willy-nilly, but she knows killing them is not the solution. Instead, she goes to their homes and offers to clean out their chimneys and wall tubes, and affix devices that trap pollutants before they are released to the atmosphere. The townspeople are baffled as to why this dragon worries about smoke since it all just disappears into the air, but many say she brings good luck, since the towns that Bezirksschornsteinfegermeister visit seem to have healthier inhabitants.
