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.

When the other members of this dragon's group gathered round and asked her "Who do you want to be" all she could think about was her favourite place on earth, and she answered "In The Forest". "Who, not where!" the others called out, but it was too late; the rite of passage was complete and the words of the hatchling at this point in the ritual, according to tradition, determine its name. Other dragons might be embarrassed about such a strange name, but not In The Forest; she is just not vain enough to care what others think about her. Of course there is no reason to worry about anyone else's opinion for someone as fearsomely big and strong as female Terrae Dragons, but In The Forest would never use her strength to get her way; she is far too docile for that.
