Ultraviolet Dragons are a heat-loving breed that are most commonly found in hot, arid environments. These hardy dragons are omnivorous and will eat both plant and animal matter, even species with thorny physical defenses such as cacti. They are generally peaceful and often quite friendly, but males will become aggressive and cantankerous during the breeding season. Intense fights take place over females, sometimes resulting in injury for both combatants.

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.

Knight of the Desert Hills is a ultraviolet dragon. He is very gallant and noble, and he is an excellent warrior, often helping his fellow clanmates to patrol their territory and repel hostile dragons. A very handsome dragon, he has many potential mates, but he seldom has any time for romance, and therefore he refuses to take one. He is also one of his clan's "protectors", whose job it is to help protect and guard his clan's "snatchers".
