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.

"Soft" and "fluffy" aren't normal adjectives to ascribe to a mint, but CotNy... well, most believe that were his lineage known, it would consist of ninety-nine percent pillow and only enough mint for him to inherit the species. He has a small farm on the riverbank just east of Nworset where he grows cotton. Normally, Nworset would be too cold for cotton, but he seems to have a way with the plant and claims to feel a special connection to cotton that he feels to nothing else in the universe. He cites Dr. wzDNA's theory of the "soular code" and says his soul must have "cotton" etched into it. Whatever others may say, he loves cotton and he he loves having the name CotNy.
