Black Truffle Dragons are one of the rarest breeds—though this was not always the case. Once, these dragons were quite prolific, but their musky-smelling secretions were found to be useful in the making of perfumes and scented oils, leading the dragons to be hunted near the point of extinction. Now, these dragons live far away from humans and will only share their oil with those they deem worthy of this gift, those possessing a pure heart and selfless spirit.

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.

The self-proclaimed Queen of Sauce knows how to cook various dishes, from tortillas to crab cakes to fiddlehead risotto, and she teaches "a new mouth-watering recipe" to viewers every week on the Ferngill Stage. Her speaking style is grandiose, and she floats using magic (making her look more wise and powerful), but her behavior doesn't really get in the way of the information presented. Her dishes usually call for only a handful of ingredients, but if one follows the steps she lays out, they always look marvelous. Viewers of the Queen of Sauce notice that not only do they learn her recipes without difficulty, the knowledge tends to stick in their head indefinitely.
