Tetra Dragons are often found in large groups. They are very social both with their own species and with others. Tetra Dragons are very active and change locations quite frequently. Males defend small parts of territory within the groups but major conflicts rarely occur. Tetra Dragons prefer territory with lots of natural hiding places and can be skittish.

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.

To keep busy, Arbov serves as crab wrangler at Dragonhaven Island. The crabs, which are the result of some very odd experiments by the island's previous residents, have minds of their own and some factions periodically try to conquer the island. Some crabs leave her offerings of pretty shells, while others attack her with urchin-spine spears. Arbov pretends to be afraid of the latter, but won't let them intimidate her into backing down for long.
