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.

Sahida is lively and talkative, and she always has a kind word for everyone she meets. She is the only person in her terrae group who gets along with the chatty gilded bloodscale trio with whom they share land, mostly because she can out-talk them and seems to never run out of different subjects. She does not like to be disagreeable and feels that arguing is tiresome, so there are certain topics that she avoids if she can. While she's had several children with different partners over the years, none of them have been recorded, and they all were raised by the fathers or unrelated caretakers from far away. Some members of the group take issue with this, but because Sahida makes no effort to defend her decision and is still unwaveringly polite and friendly, they don't criticize her, knowing there's no point.
