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.

Taligras, a green stripe dragon, is not very forgiving and has been known to say "do not forget what you cannot forgive and do not forgive what you cannot forget". Taligras holds the largest grudge for dragons that go against her wishes and those who have good intentions but mess things up further. Taligras was named for her green and yellow coloring, after many dragons commented that she would have excellent camouflage on the plains and resembled 'tall grass'. The elderly dragon doing the official naming misheard the other dragons and named her 'Taligras'.
