It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

Strands of yellow that gently fade into green flow off of this dragon's head and tail. Her purple scales almost completely cover the entire body, while her clear blue eyes gazing out. Resting patiently, with her wings folded neatly, she surveys the land, and watches for any particular male that might interest her, or plant. She longs for the day when she can finally sink her teeth into juicy flesh of meat, but mentally shakes that thought away each time it comes, for she knows very well that finding a mate won't be an easy task.
