Heartseeker Dragons are very social creatures that emanate a sweet chocolatey scent. Their captivating perfume easily attracts adult dragons that don’t yet have a mate. Heartseekers use their keen sense of smell to detect solitary dragons and potential mates in the area. By rubbing their fins against objects such as trees and rocks, they leave a scent trail for the other dragons to follow to meet each other. Although these dragons are seen year-round, the scent of a Heartseeker becomes particularly potent during the middle of winter. During this time, a single Heartseeker may play matchmaker to dozens of dragons, but he will also choose a special mate of his own.

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.

Tik-Tok is a pleasant, friendly, young adult Heartseeker. He is kind and curious and loves hatchlings; this has made him very popular with the younger dragons. Tik-Tok dislikes any and all conflict and will do anything to avoid it, even if it means he doesn't get to eat or has to sleep in the rain. Tik-tok is a dragon that teaches the hatchlings as well; he tries to teach them how to love themselves for who they are and to treat others with kindness, and after each lesson he lets them ride on his back. Despite his breed's attributes, Tik-tok has yet to find the right mate; he wants a mate who is kind, but has a bright and bubbly personality to match and he will patiently wait to find her.
