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.

Dandy is a fun-loving dragon. He takes very little in life seriously, and spends a good deal of time preening. He can't stand a sad face; he's been known to put the cave in an uproar to help cheer up a friend. Between that and a somewhat ridiculous nature, some in the cave see him as something of an overgrown hatchling. However, he doesn't see why living life optimistically and to the fullest should be seen as immature.
