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.

Despite his name, Bloodred White has no white on him. However, weak as he is, he likes to pretend he is the best warrior of all time. Of course, he isn't, but that doesn't stop him from acting out his fantasies—fighting the evil forces of lizards and beetles and whatever other unfortunate small creatures he can corner and pummel into submission. He likes to think of his name as suitable, especially the 'blood' part (despite the fact that bug blood, as he has found out, comes in shades of green and white) However, white bug blood is not the reason for the "White" in his name, and this is where it takes a rather morbid turn: Bloodred White claims that he's slayed so many evil dragons (and of course his usual tiny, helpless opponents) that his once white body is now permanently red from the eternal blood of both his insect and his draconian enemies.
