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.

Dittany pays special attention to the youngest of eggs in Nadat's cave. He knows full well how fragile they are. When he hatched he was small and weak, fragile and sickly. No one thought he would make it. But some of the other dragons took particular interest, especially Baigon the guardian dragon, and he made it. Now he does his best to return the care that was shown to him.
