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.

If the Pink 'Un has a name of his own, he has never let it slip. A lank, calculating creature with beady gaze and whip-ready temper, he has a naturally suspicious mind coupled with absolute, blind loyalty to those under his care. His cliffside caverns are full of cast-off hatchlings with no other place to go; though most find little sympathy in him, all are assured of warmth, safety, and an honest upbringing. He cares little for others' censure, and has been suspected of staging scenes for shock value to increase his reputation. Those who know pink dragons as peaceful herbivores are often startled at the Pink 'Un's savage predatory skill -- though he eats no meat himself, his young charges are always well fed.
