Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Once as smitten with the idea of love as any other heartseeker, this dragon's opinion on the matter changed--for the worse--the first time he actually secured himself a lady friend and went on a date. Being quite fond of malts--and knowing she liked sweets as well--his first choice was, of course, to take her to an ice cream parlor, where he could have his and she could have hers and all would be well. But no sooner had he ordered his malt than she suggested--sickeningly--that they SHARE it rather than order separately! A quick, horrified glance around showed all the other couples doing the same, and that was that for him. Bolting faster than an ice cream cone can melt on a boiling hot summer's day, he has since sworn off the idea of romance entirely, deciding nothing can possibly be better than being able to hog ice cream all to yourself!
