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.

z3rgQling is rather terrified of the sky. When she steps up to the edge of her cave and peers down at the great blue expanse dotted with white, fluffy clouds, she fears that she will fall forever, beyond the stratosphere and into the starry expanse of night, where she will be lost for an eternity between worlds. The chickens assure her that interplanetary flight isn't nearly that scary, that general relativity will make that eternity go by in less than a lifetime and she will land on another world where only chickenkind has gone before. z3rgQling isn't that brave, though, so whenever she leaves she climbs the stairs to the floor of her cave and tunnels around, pulling vegetation down by the roots in order to feed. She hates it when others ask her what's up, because she isn't sure if they want her to say what the direction refers to for them, or for herself.
