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.

Many mints are ashamed by their common nickname of "large lizard," but Lizard delights in it (hence his name). He's heard tales from traveling skywings of poisonous lizards and fierce lizards, not to mention some terrifying enough to have been dubbed "dragon" by the humans unfortunate enough to encounter them. With all of these terrifying relatives-in-name, Lizard feels, the nickname should really be considered a complement. He hasn't had much luck convincing anyone else of this, though, besides his mate, Skink.
