Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

One of the clan's first two members, Rocky was close friends with Moony before there even was a clan. Hot-headed, overzealous, and direct, Rocky is often considered the clan's driving force, the one who makes the decisions on what to do or where to go. As the clan grows in size however, Rocky is bound to be met with other dragons who may disagree with his choices, or even question his right to make those choices as leader in the first place. Rocky will test them in battle as he follows his pride, but he must not forget that the clan as a whole follows a democratic philosophy, and may not care if he wins.
