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.

Thornhedge Rely is quite the prickly dragon! His rough-edged personality makes him a bit sharper than others of his kind. Instead of lazily basking in the sun, he keeps his tongue ready with stinging insults to use at the slightest provocation. Usually bristling with anger, Rely is said to have gotten his temperament from the Black dragon warriors who took a liking to him as a hatchling. Now that he has gotten older, however, Rely is thought of as nothing but a thorn in a dragon's hide.
