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 mint dragon, he is constantly kicked around. Mint dragons of the Weyr are destined to be servants and servants only to the upper-class members of any other color. Despite the constant hating and abusive remarks of the other dragons, he has had children with Tilvaniath, the resident silver dragon, and the most beautiful female in the Weyr. None made it to adulthood, as they were all mints, which calmed the rule-abiding others, but still he has yet to be off their "trouble" list.<br/>If a mint dragon is more trouble than he is worth, he is disposed of. Thus is the horrible life of a servant. <br/>He also mated with pink Arizenth, daughter of Arianth, which caused an uproar. It seems that he may not last much longer if he continues to involve himself in forbidden love. Kennith has taken a few swipes at him, and he may be the one to finally rid the weyr of the poor mint.
