Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

A very strong and wise dragon, Galahad almost didn't make it to being a hatching. Abandoned in the forest, the little egg stood no chance until a fateful human happened to pass by. Seeing the egg only an hour from death, the young girl took the egg back to her father's farm. Placed on a makeshift nest of hay positioned under a hole in the roof that allowed sunlight to enter, the young girl watched the egg and tended to it until it hatched. She is still a loyal companion to the now beautiful, healthy, adult Galahad.
