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.

A strict mother raised Growling Gargoyle, and just like most rebellious children she resented all the rules set down on her. She went out of her way to disobey the rules just to spite her mother. This habit has carried on into her older years. Growling Gargoyle is a trickster who disobeys the rules at any chance. Usually the rules she breaks are not major enough to earn her major punishment but just important enough to cause the rest of the dragons in the cave major annoyance. She also inherited her mothers total lack of taste in men. She seems to attract all the wrong men. She has a lot of children like her mother, but unlike her she allows her children to do whatever they please. Rules and boundaries mean nothing to Growling Gargoyle. To her the world is without limits and it's her playground. Most of the dragons in the cave hate her and give her a wide berth when they see she is coming.
