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.

Lyros is one of the oldest dragons of the Veda clan but has never managed to gain the respect of dragons that came after him. He prefers staying close to the dragons who accepted him when he was wandering around, lost, after running away from his parental home. He is ashamed of his ancestry and strongly dislikes talking about it. He enjoys telling stories to younglings—sadly, the younglings rarely listen to him. When he suddenly finds himself alone in the middle of telling a story, he breathes a heavy sigh, and goes to look for Fargor, his good friend, who never fails to cheer him up.
