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.

Fayrlon is described as "very plain" by most of the dragons that he knows. His soft mint scales barely shimmer, and his black eyes seem flat at first. He is very serene and does not care for arguments of any kind. He does not mind being called plain, and often uses the word when asked to describe himself. Fayrlon takes pride in the fact that he can live simply and still be content. He cares for all living things, but the creature that he loves most is his mate, Taryna. Despite eating no meat at all, Fayrlon brings Taryna as much meat as he can during mating season. He is very protective of his mate and children, and rarely spends time without them.
