Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

For a pink dragon, Haakon has a bit of a temper, which he probably got from his father, a dark green dragon. He does not have the necessary patience to deal with the caves eggs or young, so if he doesn't absolutely have to, he prefers to be on his own. Unlike other pinks, he also gets an appetite for meat occasionally (even outside of the breeding season), a desire he isn't too happy about, because he dislikes killing. He even feels somewhat ashamed of the fact that he cannot control his appetite, so he tries to hide his feeding habits from the other dragons.
