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.

Strawberry Liquorice Delight and his brother Dark Chocolate Delight are quiet little dragons, never talking very much with the others who populate the Cave. Something went wrong with their eggs during incubation, turning them dark and bitter. Liquorice doesn't regret it, and is actually happy that he's not as sugary and sweet as his cousins.

Dark Chocolate and Strawberry Liquorice Delight can most often be found with each other, discussing the romances of the Cave and the chances of failure they have. Liquorice is more pessimistic than his brother and always forecasts a breakup or a fight, even with pairs who have been together for a very long time. Dark Chocolate hasn't told him, but Liquorice sees the looks the smaller brother gives Perfectly Lovely- and sneers to himself every time he catches it. Strawberry Liquorice doesn't know, but there is someone who has her sights set on him, and is determined to win him come mating season.
