Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Chrysanthemum has a very specific routine when it comes to tending to the eggs and young of Nadat's cave. As soon as the sun is peeking over the edge of the horizon she's moving them out to warm and bathe in the rays, scooping up the ones too tired or small to get out there on their own. The sun moves, the angles change, and Chrysanthemum is out there moving the eggs and little ones to stay with it. This continues through the whole day, with her hardly leaving their sides except to get water or food from the foragers for them. Some of the other dragons think her theory that the sun means health and long life is silly, but they can't deny that ever since she started tending to the young the hatchlings tend to be stronger and larger. Therefore they let her work to her heart's content, in the way that she sees fit.
