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.

Draco Brodie is a rather artsy dragon who has started a small and exclusive clan of artistic dragons who wish to share their talents with the world. In this clan they create sculptures and paintings out of the juices of crushed berries and flowers. Brodie even has allowed hatchlings into the group to learn under him and one other female teacher.

Draco Brodie has done some horrible secret acts in his past which he wishes to erase and this reflects in his intricate art. He is the most well-known artistic dragon in EG's Cave and has hundreds of portraits and sculptures circulating about.
