It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Egon Schiele paints. He looks ragged and ruffled and under a lot of stress, and his work is characterized by twisted body forms and expressive lines. He's more of a "feeling" type than following-the-rules type, which has drawn many critics. They say that the wings and legs and hands and other stuff look strange and wrong, or his work is too colorless whilst being too intense, or they don't like his subject matter or lifestyle. And most importantly, the paintings are unflattering. The dragons have their snouts to the sky all the time and would rather not sit for a portrait from someone who would paint them ugly and knobby.
