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.

Mebie is slow, really sloooooooooooow. When someone tells him "there is a huge swarm of bees at the great oak," he doesn't react. When another dragon adds "they are really tasty right now and full of pollen," he nods with a smile. When one of his friends nudges him "don't you like bees—they are there, RIGHT NOW," he goes "oops" and starts flying towards the great oak.

Needless to say he rarely gets the good treats.
