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.

Priez is the castle's groundskeeper, often caring for the few flowers that have spurted up throughout the castle, and tearing up weeds that seem ever abundant. It's a common sight to see him covered in dirt, happy and content, but very obviously in need of washing. Despite this, many enjoy his company and put up with the filth, willing to get their scales a bit messy to converse with the Purple.

On particularly nice days, Priez often strolls through the seemingly endless forest surrounding the castle, preferring to feel earth under his feet rather than wind under his wings. For this reason it is uncommon to see him flying, often only doing so when he must go somewhere urgent. Because of his persuading ability, the Castle Master keeps a close eye on him, always looking at him as though she hasn't made up her mind about the violet dragon.
