Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

Minithra's egg was found hidden behind a large stone, almost like it wasn't wanting to be seen. Minithra, being a Mint dragon, is fairly timid and enjoys being alone. Since she is unable to breathe fire or fly, she has to resort to using her small frame as an advantage. Seeing that Minithra is a Mint Dragon, she is much smaller than all the other dragons, making escaping from a large, slow dragon easy. She is fairly agile and quick, and can make very speedy and gymnast type maneuvers to escape. Her main method of escaping is to summer salt through a dragon's legs or jump off a wall and flip over the dragon.
