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.

Ouran is a pleasant dragon, but he can be moody. He will occasionally retreat into a corner of the cave to mope and think. But most of the time, he is cheerful and a bit hyper. He enjoys helping other dragons and looking after the hatchlings. When he was a hatchling, he was very clumsy. As a result, one day he fell into a hole in the ground designed to catch animals. He suffered damage to his wings and was never able to fly very well. He spends most of his free time with his best friend and mate, Kineta.
