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.

Pink Carat is a beautiful dragon and thinks she is worth her weight in diamonds.  Other dragons laugh at her name and she doesn't understand it at all.  "Carrot, carrot!" she hears them say, but she interprets it as, "Carat, carat!" and so can't understand why they laugh.  Her master once explained that she was born on April 1st and came from the carrot cave which, of course, she thought was the carat cave and so she keeps looking for diamonds in the cave.  Although the dragons laugh at her antics, she is determined to find a diamond in the cave—a pink diamond, in fact.
