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.

To the dismay of many dragons, a group of unpopular Sweetlings (called the "Gang Of Peculiars" by their clanmates, or GOP) became even more concerning after they organized a public campaign to take over leadership of the clan. Comp insists that he will make the clan GREAT AGAIN if he becomes leader. He will get cakes for every Sweetling in the clan and stop the outsourcing of honey production in the south, fixing the clan economy and making sure only the best dragons are allowed in. Many clanmates are horrified at how popular he has become with certain fanatics who insist that he's refreshing because he "speaks his mind", but that mind is usually full of rude, infantile things.
