Striped Dragons come in a dazzling array of colors complemented by an intricate pattern of stripes. These bright colors and patterns help attract their favorite food, insects. Because their prey is so tiny, striped dragons must spend a large portion of their day eating. The color of the offspring is usually determined by the dragon’s mate.

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 only thing Sir Artemus is interested in is flocking himself with females and raising a striped dragon as his heir. He is a greedy dragon who once tried to persue Meg Tilly, the Shallow Water Dragon, but when she quietly declined his heart grew darker and his personality only worsened. His favorite "mate" right now seems to be Catwoman VI, but regrettably she does not seem to realize she is being used.
