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.

Sweetside, due to his rarity, was raised with extreme caution and constant supervision, lest he suffer from neglect or get sick. Someone was always there to play or snuggle with him or feed him his favorite food, cotton candy. Sweetside grew to be a loving and caring dragon and he thrived under the guidance of his close-knit adoptive family. But when the time came to make his own place out in the world, Sweetside was kicked out of the only home he ever knew. Dejected, Sweetside wandered alone for many years until one day when he stumbled across a carnival for dragons. There were neotropicals that jumped through flaming hoops, pebbles that ran rock-tossing games, and many other lonely dragons welcoming him with open arms. Sweetside quickly settled into the carnie routine and began to run a cotton candy stand of his very own, with a hatchling daycare run on the side so he can always have someone to hug.
