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.

To a lot of people, and dragons, one mint dragon looks pretty much like any other mint dragon, but the mint dragons can always tell themselves apart, and they're all baffled that no one can see the nuances between them. One mint that finds this particularly frustrating is Strange and Unusual. Strange and Unusual celebrates her birthday on the Day of Fools and shares her birthday, and her worldview, with Odd, Oz, and UPYUY-Daisey. The four of them don't look all that much alike, not to Strange and Unusual's way of thinking, but for some reason everyone, be they human or dragon, confuses Strange and Unusual with Odd. Strange and Unusual knows her minty green shade is a good three hues darker than Odd's, but no one believes her when she says, repeatedly, "I'm not Odd."
