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.

His name means "Ferocious" in Japanese. He is one of the many sons of Mamosuke and Emi. He's always been spirited. He earned his name shortly after hatching, when he started rough-housing with one of the older hatchlings. Even though he was much smaller, he held his own, and almost managed to pin the other youngster through sheer will. Now that he has become an adult, he still holds his own among the other larger dragons. He is one of the smallest defenders of the colony, helping to protect his home. Despite his small size, he is still very effective, acting as a scout and helping to fight off intruding dragons. That's how he met his mate, Enzerubebi. She was being harassed by an intruding male Spitfire dragon, and Takedakeshii rescued her. As a reward, he asked for a single date. Enzerubebi thought he was cute and charming, so she agreed. One date led to another, and another. Then on a beautiful spring day, they became mates. They love each other so much, and always will.
