Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Ophanimet portrays the Spirit of Valentine's Future in Garathef's yearly morality play. Far kinder and less frightening than his Yuletide counterpart, he can't even bring himself to startle Garathef's targets. Instead of suddenly looming in front of them and warning of future doom, he'll sit upwind of whoever he's talking to (so that the scent of chocolate can drift their way) and drop hints about how if one were to keep an open heart, one might find love in the future. Ophanimet often takes it upon himself to make sure his predictions come true.
