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.

Winter-Green was lost just after he was laid in a nest in the forest. He was adopted and has had a positive outlook on life ever since hatching. His only close friend was his owner, because of his shy disposition, and his size made him scared of most larger dragons. After maturing, he met the love of his life: Sky-Sparrow, a Skywing. He was down by a group of apple trees scavenging for food when a Swallowtail dragon tackled him out of the tree, pinning him on the ground. The end seemed near as it struck, aiming for his jugular. At the last second a blue scaled dragon dove in, deflecting the attacker's paw with a flick of its tail. The battle raged on. It was impossible to tell who had the upper hand, but finally Sky-Sparrow found an opening and struck. After this incident they became very good friends, and eventually mates. He and his mate now do everything together, never wanting to be apart.
