Sunset Dragons are closely related to sunrise dragons. However, their behaviors differ greatly. Sunset Dragons generally live alone or in small packs. They are more active in the evening, hunting and performing all of their daily tasks as the sun sets.

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.

Carter is rather a loner but still part of the Shell. She can be seen soaring over hills and she is always kind enough to bring back prey for the hatchlings of the Shell. Even though she is rather a loner she still enjoys an occasional "chat" with Fire of the Burning Night. Since Carter is a sunset dragon and does everything at sunset she gets lonely. Fire of the Burning Night will come and hunt with her right before the sun is completely down.
