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.

In spite of a mother constantly searching for the next amorous adventure and a neurotic father, Elcri has somehow managed to grow into a sturdy and healthy individual. He always jokes that he is the poster child for the resilience of hatchlings who survive almost every kind of parent. The truth is though he was lucky to have had some very determined caretakers among the clan's hatchling sitters. Today he does his best to pay it forward by looking after the weakest, most needy among the clan's hatchlings, be it orphans or children of dragons who simply shouldn't have laid an egg in the first place.
