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.

Huckleberry is what some would call a heart-breaker. Besides his stunning good looks, many dragons are attracted to his alluring singing voice. His beautiful songs capture the hearts of many female dragons, who then attempt to become his mate. Huckleberry bluntly turns them down, simply because he thinks it's amusing to see their reactions. Some of them react in frustration and stomp away angrily. Others express sadness and sulk away quietly. Despite the mistreatment of his many admirers, Huckleberry has a soft spot for a certain rosebud dragon, whom he hopes may one day become his mate. However, she has no interest in him so far.
