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.

Red Rhapsody is a calm dragon, almost to the point of being emotionless. He barely reacts to any situation and nothing seems to faze him. Everything he does is done on his own time and no one else's. The only time he seems to show much of a reaction to something is when he is scratched behind the left wing and emits a low hum of contentment. Despite appearances, he is by no means emotionless. He has a very wide range of emotions but is very adept at controlling them.
