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.

Robby is afraid that he may one day develop the compulsion to stab his own eye out when he is handed a sharp object such as scissors or a knife. Not that he has ever FELT even the slightest impulse to do such a horrid thing so far, but the possibility alone makes him break out in cold sweat and leads to him regularly stealing all sharp objects from the dragons living nearby and drop them in the ocean, just to be safe.

None of his peers can even remotely relate to his phobia but most simply shrug his behaviour off as quirky. Well except for the Deep Seas—they hate Robby with a passion, as anyone would who had one or three longswords dropped on their head.
