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.

Tigre Bianco is profoundly deaf. For one who dines on insects, this makes life difficult, as quite often their buzzing is the way his peers locate their prey. However, to compensate, his eyesight is the best in the cave, and he will often find tiny crumbs of gold the others have dropped on their way to the communal hoard. He doesn't add them to the hoard, though—he saves them to add decoration to his rather splendid wings. Not too much though—gold is heavy stuff, and he does like to swoop.

If he can find a nest of beetles, it will keep him going for days—but he has a secret addiction to chocolate covered ants, which he buys surreptitiously with the leftovers from his gold pickings.
