Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

Sparking Stone is a very traditional Sunstone dragon. He is feisty and rude, often times tricking jewels out of others in his cave by playing cruel jokes on them and stealing the stones when they are not looking. This male is disgusted by the other Sunstone dragon, Keeper of Sunlight, because she mated with this species supposed 'natural enemy breed' the Moonstone dragon. Sparking Stone loves to trick others and steal their treasures, even if they mean nothing to him, the joy of stealing the object thrills him. Several times he has almost been banished by the cave leader Burnea because of his horrible actions.
