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.

You Got Somma That Purple Drank was so named for his love of grape juice. He does not "believe in" white grape juice, but adores purple grapes, and all things purple for that matter. As a hatchling, he would always ask for grape juice, but did not know what to call it other than a "purple drink", which he could not pronounce properly. The others call him "Purple Drank" for short.
