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.

Hywyn was watching over the eggs and hatchlings one late winter afternoon.  One tiny, mint-colored hatchling kept climbing to the top of a rock, squealing, jumping, and flapping her front legs madly.  She would crash to the ground, run and hide, then a few moments later would try again.  Hywyn smiled to herself at the ridiculous antics of the little one.  Youre a ridiculous little flying sheep, arent you she asked the tiny dragon.  

The nickname stuck, and soon Ridiculous Flying Sheep had grown into a lovely adult dragon.  She took a liking to Ridiculous Dinnesdale, and would peek at him from behind rocks and underbrush and giggle.  Whenever he spoke to her, she would scurry away, embarrassed and frightened.  One day, Dinnesdale approached her very quietly.  They call me Ridiculous, too.  Can we be friends he gently asked.  I think I would like that very much! she whispered back.
