Terrae Dragons are primarily herbivores who prefer to eat from the tops of trees. However, due to their massive size, they must rely on small, specialized scales to absorb and convert energy from the sun. Since they live in tightly-knit groups, this form of energy absorption helps preserve the forests in which these dragons reside.

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.

Kia rules over a valley, letting peaceful creatures in and keeping out war. He and his mate, Amanda HighRule, protect not just the valley but their herd as well. They live up on a mountain so they can watch over the entire valley to keep it safe and peaceful. If a fight starts in the herd, Kia shows off his mighty horns to say "I will not have fights in the herd!" so the two stop. After all, he protects the valley, and every creature in it.
