It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Dr Smith J is a Purple male. Like his female Purple sisters, he too knows how to increase fertility. He used to think that he never would find someone who could learn to love him, enough to consider having his children. He has some awkward habits of appearing really feminine and he doesn't like to get dirty, or fight with other males when it's mating season. Everything fell into place when he came across young Dr Blackwell, a young Purple female.
