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.

When xStarletx Found a purple egg abandoned in the woods she figured that she would be getting a female purple dragon. Imagine her surprise when DeadlyOrchid came out a male. DeadlyOrchid is far from deadly, he mainly forages for food and let's MintyDeath ride on his head when the two of them are out getting food for the others. Often times you will find DeadlyOrchid lifting MintyDeath up towards the higher branches of the fruit trees to allow the smaller Dragon a chance to get the higher fruit.
