Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Whedab Itov has acquired a rather odd taste for licorice, and will go to nearly any length to obtain his favorite treat, short of going near humans of course. He has been afraid of humans ever since he was a hatchling, and a cruel dragonslayer almost killed both of his parents right in front of him. Both of his parents survived, but their close brush with death instilled a permanent fear of humans in their son. Unfortunately, Whedab Itov acquired a taste for licorice, and his craving for his favorite treat brought him face-to-face with his greatest fear, right in the center of a human town. Whedab Itov managed to find and raid a confectioner's stall and steal some of his favorite treats, but he later vowed to give up his obsession with licorice. So far, however, he has been unsuccessful.
