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.

Zandire spends most of his time scavenging for his friend, Frivoulie, and himself. Frivoulie spends all of her time hiding up on a cloud for fear of attacking Space Chickens. Although Zandire considers her quite mad, he never forgets to bring her something to eat.

Zandire lives in a small, crowded cave with a herd of Black Dragons, who always leave him an ample supply of food. Although Zandire holds these dragons in utmost respect, he also fears them almost as much as Frivoulie fears Space Chickens.
