Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

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.

He suddenly feels Them give his tail a tug, and he decides he has waited long enough. He pushes out of the red dirt that is the exact color of his scales, and shakes himself. He hears the screams of the People, and laughs to himself, scooping the first one's bag into his mouth, and loves the way the gems trickle down his throat. His neck stretches around, and he finds another bag full of gold pieces. The People are still screaming, and he decides he has had enough with their yelling. He silences them with a blow from his tail, knocking them out, but not killing them, as he needs them to bring him his next meal...
