Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

NeverGiveUp is a young Pink Dragon who has been through a lot. His egg rolled away from the cave he was born in, and down into a stream. It traveled about a half mile downstream, and lodged between two fallen trees. A fisherman discovered the egg and decided that he might be able to get a good deal of gold from selling it. But a mountain lion attacked and killed the man on the way home. Happy to eat the fisherman, she dragged off her meal. At high noon, the Pink egg was shining in the warm sunlight, and he started to hatch out of his egg. He found himself completely alone, in an empty meadow. At least, it was empty until a pack of wolves wandered in from the forest. They saw the defenseless hatchling, and thought he looked like an easy meal. They chased him up a tree before they got discouraged. But NeverGiveUp found himself stuck high in a tree below the ground. A high gust of wind shook him from his perch, but he fell on a passing human. His lucked changed, for she adopted him.
