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.

Tavis is—to put it kindly—a large dragon. He eats as often as possible, no matter the time or place. He's been known to decimate entire food stores within a week, and though a few dragons are trying to convince him to slow down and maybe lose some weight, because seriously, he's out of control, Tavis ignores them. He doesn't care that he can't really fly anymore—or at all—and he can't bring himself to worry about the fact that he's practically rolling everywhere. As far as he's concerned, if he can eat it, he will.

On an unrelated note, Tavis has been eyeing smaller dragons in an odd way.
