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.

Tidj was at first rather upset with her name, complaining "I'm not a frog!" However, after learning that Dendrobates simply meant "tree walker," she calmed down and conceded that it was appropriate. However, this led to some jokes being passed around; sometimes Karbyn or another joker will refer to her as "Froggirl," "Toady," "Wartface," "Tidj Frogtree," or other such names in jest, to which she gives them a cold, hard stare, which is usually enough to quit it. Karbyn thinks she's just not warmed up to the joke.
