Sweetlings are a small, flightless breed of dragon. They are omnivores who favor sweet fruits and honey, and have been known to go to great lengths to obtain their favorite treats. Their long, prehensile tails allow them to grab onto branches and give them superior balance. Sweetlings are expressive dragons and have a large array of calls to communicate with others. They become very vocal during breeding season and sing long, beautiful melodies to attract a mate. Inquisitive in nature, Sweetlings are known to investigate anything that piques their interest, and are quick to flee if the object of their curiosity strikes back.

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.

Round is a carefree, chubby dragon who always has an innocent, vacant expression that brings to mind a puppy. He is usually harmless and too dimwitted to understand instructions or warnings, and he will flee from danger. If he puts on his crown, however, he becomes more aggressive and grows in size until he's larger than most standard dragons, though he doesn't become any smarter. Due to the magical nature of Round and his headpiece, he remains in his large form until the crown is removed; he then becomes small and timid again. Almond milk is good for him. He seems to have an endless supply of it.
