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.

Teeny was one of five eggs in Wiki's care, bred only days before the LagMonster attack. WhiteKatsu (nicknamed Wiki by some) was certain none of the clutch would survive. That's the price one has to pay for being anti-social and dependant on the fan-sites for hatching and growth.

However, about a week later, Wiki was surprised to see all five eggs alive and well. She made sure that the eggs and hatchlings got the care they needed, and they all managed to survive the attack, and thrive.

Teeny was named in rememberance of the defeat of the Lagmonster, for Teeny McSurvingLag "survived" the "lag."
