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.

When the Dragon Keepers found an unusual egg of the color of the stormy sea near the Cave, they knew that a very special dragon would hatch from it.

As the time came and the hatchling broke through the shell of its egg, the Dragon Keepers noticed that it had a birth mark on its back. It seemed to read "Ben", and the hatchling was called like this ever since.

Ben grew up, and the clumsy hatchling became a beautiful Lady Dragon. She decided to keep her boyish name, for the whole clan deemed it to be the sign from the Mighty TJ.
