Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Valentine Pixie is Dragonhaven Island's prime mischief-maker; even the rowdiest hatchling seems sedate compared to him.  He's always wandering off and getting into trouble, which would be bad enough in a more typical weyr, like Flowernest, but could prove lethal on an island filled with spell remnants and numerous odd nooks and crannies.  Even the best efforts of Dragonhaven Island's hatchling-tenders can't always keep Valentine Pixie contained, and so everyone was relieved when he and Dulceva took an interest in each other—she, at least, can sometimes keep him reined in.
