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.

Fnekc lives on desert shores

Where sands and sage-brush meet the seas

The blusang Triqui he truly adores

And he songs with her and the evening breeze.

.

When others near their cliffside lair

He runs away from the towering bluffs

It's widely known that he is there

And he excels at fisticuffs.

.

His path begins a chain of life

Filled with songs from all their kin

That stems from him and his lovely wife

He leads and teaches discipline.
