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.

Cigfuquoo thinks she is a dog, and knocks over so many people by "jumping up" on them (putting her front paws on their shoulders and pushing) that Pilauli put up a sign that says "BE CAREFUL OR THE DRAGON WILL KNOCK YOU OVER".  Cigfuquoo thinks dog food is delicious, and Pilauli has started being silly and teaching Cigfuquoo to "heel", "sit", "lie down", "stay", "okay" (which means she can get up), "quiet" (stop barking), and even "speak" (Cigfuquoo can't bark very well).
