Sapphire Dragons were so named for their brilliant blue-green color, which is reminiscent of the gemstone. This breed was historically hunted for their scales; even long after, they remain distrustful of humans. Normally a Sapphire is not very aggressive, but they will defend themselves vigorously if under attack. Their diet consists mainly of fruit, with smaller portions of large insects and other invertebrates. Males woo females with vocalizations similar to bird songs. Sapphire Dragons are very loyal to their mates, and it is not unusual that they pair for life.

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.

Azuredazzle is a typical Sapphire dragon, if a bit more oblivious than most. Due to an as-yet-undiscovered pool of Magi mana in her territory, much of the local flora has begun to be affected. For now the effects are relatively harmless color changes, aside from the radishes, that is. The exposure to raw mana has rendered them volatile and prone to exploding. Due to her reputation as not the brightest ember in the fire, she used to be a popular target for pranks by the nearby Misfit pygmies until one day, fed up with their tricks, she became angry and started throwing things closest to her at the offending pests. That happened to be a patch of those odd blue-leafed radishes, and she was unaware of what she held. Nowadays the resulting crater has been filled in, the Misfits find someone else to pick on, and she gets twitchy at the slightest glimpse of turquoise scales.
