Equinox Dragons are a highly vocal, migratory breed, easy to find when they are traveling through an area and incredibly scarce otherwise. They are extremely skilled at following dates and times based off the movement of the sun and the moons, and follow their lengthy migration routes like clockwork. Large flocks of Equinoxes can darken the skies, and their calls, which sound like eerie flutes, can be heard from a great distance. Equinoxes are very social, and hatchlings are cared for communally by the entire group—it’s rare to see a solitary Equinox, and any stragglers who don’t have a flock will often attempt to join groups of other breeds of dragon.

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.

Sam is a very sweet though ditsy sort of guy. He's not all that intelligent, but he is incredibly kind. He is known to be very social (he is an Equinox, afterall) and make friends easily. However, his desire for social interaction also makes him needy and impatient. If he is left alone for even a second, he becomes anxious and unstable. He thrives in social environments, where he has others to listen and speak to. The larger the group, the better, since he prefers having his mind as occupied as possible. For this reason, he will very often assemble huge parties with his mate and brother in-law, Opal (a Tetra with a knack for organization.) Rest assured, there is always something going on at their den.
