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.

Vitality prepares food in bogs, mostly fish and butter, but sometimes grain and ungulate parts. Littered throughout the Colaight and Walee Bogs east of the Big River and Lan Bog to the north are jars and boxes buried by Vitality and her ancestors. There's a thousand-year family tradition of keeping goods in the territory's wetlands, where the food is safe from bugs, disease, and thieves. Now, of the remaining family members here, Vitality is the only one still practicing this, though her friends sometimes help with acquisition and labor. Most folks who've tried the bog food say it is an acquired taste, with a pungent, funky, or mossy flavor. Some of those individuals are now her customers, who use the bog products for medicine and cleaning as well as eating. Since now there are numerous ways to make and preserve food, people sometimes ask Vitality why not try expanding to more areas, not just swampland, but she refuses to consider it, saying there's no need to think outside the bogs.
