Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Elliot is a son of Houseki and Makie, making him part of the renowned Ginko Clan. His name means "The Lord is My God", but his mother just chose it because it sounded exotic and handsome. Elliot is an incredibly friendly dragon, who is fond of all things sweet and tasty. His favorite treats are oddly enough a thing that Remy calls a "Dessert Taco", while he is still not quite sure what a "Taco" is, Elliot is crazy about the chocolatey pastries.
