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.

Cratus Cacia is a troubled dragon. His parents are both skilled in brain and battle, clever, cunning, finely tuned killing machines. Their son, however, is a clumsy, stuttering, slightly baffled young dragon with little but his laid-back disposition to redeem him. He doesn't speak much or often because he stutters so badly and even when flying he just seems....ridiculous and out of place. Levana Tarleton, however, thinks his oddities are charming and he think thinks her tendency to sleep on one leg is the cutest thing since pygmy dragons.
