Blue-Banded Dragons are found primarily in mountainous regions with lots of precipitation. Although terrestrial, they are most often sighted near running water and feed mostly on fish. Females are very social and form tight-knit family groups, while males are strictly solitary and will fight any other dragons that enter their territory outside of breeding season. For this reason, females tend to drive males away when they are not ready to mate, or when they are caring for hatchlings. The amount of striping varies greatly from individual to individual, with some dragons having only faint dark streaks on their sides and others appearing to be almost entirely dark blue with paler markings.

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.

Stripes On is one of the first dragons to be raised in the shelter after being abandoned for no apparent reason other than taking up too much space. It is speculated that he might not have been planned but that rather his father escaped and mated with the dorsal dragon that is his mother. He can get really territorial, but with contact to so many different dragons he slowly learned to tolerate the others in the cave, even seeking out contact once in a while. He especially seems interested in the Hellfire Wyvern Set Ablaze. However, the fierce female dragon always seems to reject his attempts to mate with her, much to the dismay of Watanuki, as he really wished for eggs from this couple.
