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.

Growing up, this dragon wanted to have a name to set him apart from the many, many other mints. Being unnamed themselves, his parents decided to consult some humans about getting "a nice human name". The people agreed that the little mint looked like a "Benjamin". His parents, unfortunately, never thought of learning the humans' language and couldn't spell the word, but they knew there was a "j" somewhere in there, and it probably ended with "man" because hu"man". Benejman doesn't mind though, because Mom and Dad were willing to put in so much effort to come up with a moniker for him. He spends his days hunting small rodents, watching the sky and the creatures that fly in it, and thinking of interesting proverbs.
