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.

As a hatchling, Kylu was found wandering on the Ruda Clan's territory, lost and alone. When asked about where he came from and what he was doing on their land, he could only answer that he didn't know. Because his origins were unknown, the Ruda Clan held a meeting to discuss what to do with him. To keep him would put the clan at risk. If he was from another clan, it was likely that they would be accused of kidnapping. To chase him away meant that Kylu would face certain death. The fact that Kylu even made it as far as he did was nothing short of a miracle. In the end, he was adopted into the clan, and to this day, no one knows where he came from, not even Kylu himself. Even though he grew up healthy, his trauma as a hatchling left him scarred. Even as an adult, Kylu has an intense fear of being alone.
