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.

Spear is very aware of her defenselessness and fears the world around her. She recognizes that the only thing she has to her advantage in a community full of larger, more dangerous dragons is her size, which allows her to hide in small spaces, where she can't be found. She's extremely shy, which is to be expected of a Mint, and will run away at the first sign of someone approaching. She isn't dumb, though. Far from it in fact, Spear is actually pretty crafty in how she can minimize the amount of danger around her. She does this by following dragons that are obnoxious or cause a lot of trouble around her home, dragons that everyone else knows to avoid. It's a pretty effective strategy, especially if that chosen dragon happens to really like defending her. She can be pretty sweet and a great conversationalist if you manage to bond with her. She happens to work well around dragons her own size, mostly Pygmies, and can offer some great tips for avoiding threats.
