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 and Green is locked in a bitter rivalry with Striped Glory Rare, constantly bickering over who can have the most children, catch the most prey, and suggest the best names. Even though she is usually preoccupied with Striped Glory, Red and Green is loved by many other dragons of the Dewsong clan. Because of her youth and agility, Red and Green wins many of the competitions between Striped Glory and her, but almost as many as these she loses.
