The Freckled Dragon is a small, cunning breed known for their obsessive hoarding habits. Males and females are visually identical, but one can tell the difference between genders depending on what they collect—males only collect green-colored items, while females only collect red-colored items. Though their wings are too small to sustain flight, these dragons can glide for a short distance. Instead of flying, Freckled Dragons travel by running at swift speeds for long distances. They are typically docile, but can become violent if their treasure is threatened.

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.

Sunsetter lives with his mate, Agrefela, in an area of rocky sandstone caverns. Sunsetter's den is an abandoned Spitfire den of glass, which is connected to his mate's subterranean home through a short tunnel; Sunsetter fills this room of his with green gems that reflect their light on the glass, making a very green home. Between their two hordes, they collect items that are both red and green in color. Sunsetter is very protective of their hordes, even his mate's, and tends to be the stay-at-home dad who spends his time organizing the home. He also ventures down into deep tunnels to fetch drinking water from underwater streams, which is hard to find in their desert environment, and teaches his children how to safely navigate unstable caves.
