Harvest Dragons are a large, flightless breed most often found in heavily forested mountains. Normally shy, these omnivorous dragons keep to themselves in remote regions, but in the fall they descend from their high territory to search for food—and lots of it. During the autumn months, harvest dragons will eat whatever they can find, from large and small animals to nuts and fruit. In the winter they retreat into large caves and hibernate until spring, living off the fat they have built up.

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.

Yes, a simply SUPERB nose, perfect for nosing out munchies hidden deep beneath the soil, mushrooms and tubers and plump juicy rodents, all sorts of lovely eats--EXCEPT IT NEVER WORKED. No, no, every time she swore she smelled edibles, she pulled up some stupid shiny gold rocks instead! Grumbling irately about her luck, she spent many years simply dumping the stupid things back where she'd found them--until she found out, much to her delight, that in exchange for the metal people would bring food to her instead!
