Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

The young dragon's massive bulk pushes slowly through the forest, his wings occasionally catching on a branch, causing it to snap. He looks out, hoping to see other young dragons of his kind, searching to form a family group. He turns around, arching his neck to see over the taller limbs and leaves, and a flash of green catches his eye. He leaps excitedly toward the source of the movement, eager to find a place where he belongs.
