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.

Altos Magenta was originally mistaken as a female, much to his disdain. Ironically, he is very sexist, believing that females should only look after the hatchlings while the males hunt, defend, and attack. He suffers from agoraphobia however, and is forced to stay inside almost all the time. He had begun to take interest in Amethyst Barrage, the motherly figure in the cave who looks after all the hatchlings like they're her own, even though she never had hatchlings. Altos thinks of her as a 'proper' female dragon, and brings her food when she is busy.
