Ultraviolet Dragons are a heat-loving breed that are most commonly found in hot, arid environments. These hardy dragons are omnivorous and will eat both plant and animal matter, even species with thorny physical defenses such as cacti. They are generally peaceful and often quite friendly, but males will become aggressive and cantankerous during the breeding season. Intense fights take place over females, sometimes resulting in injury for both combatants.

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.

Shazai is a worrywart by nature, and often feels the need to apologize for little things. Oddly enough, this habit also extends to food; Shazai will sometimes be seen apologizing profusely to cacti she is about to eat. Her explanation for this is simply that one can never be too careful, and that it is important to value the lives of others, even those of cacti. He siblings generally don't mind her strange mannerisms as her sweet temperament makes her easy to get along with, though also a bit too self-conscious.
