It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Thistle is a bit pretentious at times, and has a tendency to call others INVERTEBRATES for no reason other than that he feels like it. He pretends to be a smart mentor instructing the younger dragons, but whenever he tries to prove how smart he is, he just ends up blowing something up. As such, Thistle is considered a dangerous member of the Clan who has a tendency of making things catch on fire. However, he is really a giant goofball who is just unfortunate.
