Harvest Dragons are a large, flightless breed most often found in heavily forested mountains. Normally shy, these omnivorous dragons keep to themselves in remote regions, but in the fall they descend from their high territory to search for food—and lots of it. During the autumn months, harvest dragons will eat whatever they can find, from large and small animals to nuts and fruit. In the winter they retreat into large caves and hibernate until spring, living off the fat they have built up.

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.

Hailing Harvest is constantly on alert for when the harvests of different plants are. Since he is not allowed in the cave's garden, he instead storms the village's fields attempting to eat as much as he can before the villagers get to it. This has been solved by the villagers putting out some milk and roast meat with sleeping herbs in it. Hailing Harvest normally falls asleep, allowing the villagers to pick their food in peace.
