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.

Neomah is a cooperative, curious, and unselfish dragon, and gets along well with almost everyone else in the caves. An excellent assistant in crafting, his services are in high demand, and he usually takes payment in raw sugar, cocoa, or other candy ingredients. He loves all manner of sweets and can be bribed into doing very nearly anything for them, but his particular favorites are jelly babies. Not only are they delicious and squishy-sticky and sweet, but by placing a bit of his own magic into them, he makes them walk around, dance, and sometimes make sounds. The rest of the dragons, even the Malfeans, find his hobby more than a little creepy, but it keeps him occupied and out of everyone else's business. He's sure that one day, he will find or create the perfect sweet, something worthy of the name of his own offspring.

Of course, when Neomah is done with his temporarily-living treats, he eats them, in order to regain the magic he used to animate them.
