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.

Hokola is free as the wind. She travels where she pleases. She mates with whomever she wants, and has raised quite the brood from it. She is rather aloof and ignorant of current events in regions that she lands in but is careful to never cause any extra trouble herself. Hokola loves her children and they are the only thing that can make her stop wandering. She has left many a heart broken and many a male in a sullen state due to her transient life-style. She justifies this by saying that heartbreak is part of life and that they must learn to focus on the joys they shared and not lament their ending.
