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.

Of all the dragons of Mount Shanidar, T'aarof is the most polite.  He treats all the other dragons with courtesy and deference.  Not all of the dragons return this, however, since he's small and can't hunt.  Many don't think he contributes to the clan at all.  But he is very good at finding small morsels that the other dragons won't go looking for, like carrots and mushrooms.  He digs up treats and brings them back to the cave to share with the females who stay home with the hatchlings while the rest of the clan is out hunting.  He's a very dedicated father, and has been known to confuse other dragon's eggs for his own, and raise them himself.
