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.

Tsuini has a rather unfortunate taste for praying mantises. Never a patient dragon, whenever Tsuini goes looking for her favorite snack, she brings a few sizeable rocks with her to throw at the mantises before they can attack or run away. When this strategy does not work, Tsuini pesters one of her fire-breathing siblings to help her. She claims that roasted mantis is not as tasty, but she doesn't complain so long as the pesky treat is caught one way or another.
