Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Met always used to joke that her family should never go to the shore, because both her mother and her grandmother ended up falling for a water-dwelling dragon (not that there is anything wrong with that). She swore to stay away from lagoons, or at least never to swim in any body of water deep enough to be home to a Deep Sea Dragon. But none of it helped her resist the charm of a certain young Water Walker—not that there is anything wrong with that!
