Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Despite being a breed that's commonly associated with the romantic holiday celebrated by humans, Fancy has absolutely no interest in romance nor mating. Other dragons say that he's nice, smart, and would make a great mate but frankly he just doesn't care. He did try courting a possible partner once as an experiment, but it was awful and he never wants to bother with the drama again. He'd rather spend his time undisturbed, absorbed in his books and his own thoughts. A few females have tried to get his attention, but without success. Although he comes across as cold and misanthropic to some dragons, a few have discovered that he can be a good friend if they accept his differences.
