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.

Zuckerwatter loves sugar in all its forms, but his favorite, without question, is candyfloss. He is constantly wandering out of the cave, following the scent of carnivals, and jumping into barrels of pink, purple, and blue cotton candy before being chased home by angry vendors, looking like a sweetly colored clown. The paired dragons of the cave are often (pleasantly unpleasantly stickily, at least) surprised to find themselves surrounded with the fluffy fruits of his silly exploits when they wake up in the morning; the little rascal likes to encircle his mated friends in giant hearts of candyfloss. However long-limbed and agile he becomes, there is no question: Zuckerwatter will never truly grow up.
