Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Relish hates springtime. One would think that all the flowers and young animals would pique a Sweetling's curiosity and make him enjoy the season, but he is unfortunately afflicted by terrible allergies. Even the honey that Sweetlings love so much makes his throat swell up and burn. The human caretaker does her best to alleviate his symptoms, even asking the local Whites for advice and remedies, but she hasn't found a permanent fix yet. So Relish continues to struggle with sneezing fits and a runny nose, and the caretaker feels so bad for him that she even lets him move his sleeping quarters into her own private cottage during the worst of the season.
