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.

Despite being a fairly young dragon, Count Waltz is the ruler of a place called Forte. Count Waltz is loud, violent and extremely controlling of everyone around him, human or dragon. He refuses to whisper and he roars even louder if someone is to interrupt him. He is very strong, so he intimidates weaker dragons and humans to do his bidding. Count Waltz usually forces his minions to get him food, act as a footstool or chair, or tuck him in at night. He despises everyone except his owner whom he has tea and crumpets with every other day. On Wednesdays he likes to eat cake. Count Waltz will most likely one day rule the world.
