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.

Willows candy flourite came from the same place as willows sweetheart. During the full moon his voice can be heard twining through sweetheart's and a beautiful vision of what can only be called paradise is seen. This is what is heard:

"Oh please never forget me though waves now lie over me

I was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free

But destiny tore me from country and loved ones

And from the new land I was never to see.

A poor emigrant's dragon too frightened to know

I was leaving forever the land of my soul

Amid struggle and fear my parents did pray

To place courage to leave over the longing to stay.

They spoke of a new land far away cross the sea

And of peace and good fortune for my brothers and me

So we parted from townland with much weeping and pain

Kissed the loved ones and the friends we would never see again."
