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.

Viluy is the most beautiful of all Buri288's dragons, and she knows it.  She's very vain; if she comes across something shiny, she will stop to admire her reflection.  Buri288's male dragons are entranced by her beauty, except for Gwenwick who doesn't seem to care.<br/>She has mothered 6 children, half of which died before they had a chance to hatch.  The living ones are Vilgan by Oragan, Vilious and Marianna Viola by Turios.
