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.

The Matron of the Dust Clan, Lilac preferred once to live without a male, especially when most of the males she met were rather rude to her.  However, she does like to know the bliss of taking care of eggs and hatchlings; which is why she was named the den mother of the sanctuary.  She has insisted to take care of every new stolen egg like a surrogate.  Lilac has in fact taken care of hatchlings since Vines was an egg, thus she has often earned the nickname Mother Lilac.  As the matron of the largest clan, Lilac is also very respected.
