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.

If he could, Hindmost would spend his entire day lying on his pile of gold with his mouth agape as bugs crawled and flew in. Alas, he has no pile of gold and doesn't feel like starting one. So much work. He's tried to convince passerby dragons to help him, but being persuasive is also a lot of work, so he made halfhearted attempts to talk to them and then gave up. He's thought about getting a hobby and even tried some such as weaving and singing, but he also tired of them quickly. Everything is a lot of work. All said, doing nothing but eat and sleep and watch other creatures isn't so bad. Hindmost is pretty satisfied with his uneventful, goldless existence.
