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.

The smallest dragon in the Ruda Clan, Sirpa does not let her size bother her. Instead, she concentrates on putting her size to good use. She can squeeze into tiny spaces that not even the other Mint dragons can fit into, and is often called to explore a newly discovered fissure or rescue a hatchling stuck in a crevice. Still learning the lay of the land, once Sirpa can traverse the territory without fear of being lost, she will be sent on messenger and patrol missions. Often voted "the bravest dragon in the clan," Sirpa is the only Mint dragon in the Ruda Clan who actively participates in battle, using her size, agility, and lightning fast reflexes to confuse and trick opponents into hurting themselves and wasting valuable energy.
