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.

Dykrr loves building dikes, though there is not all that much use for making new ones all the time. So instead, she spends quite a bit of time exploring the wildernesses on the outskirts of Nworset. She has to be very careful because of the many monsters, but there are a lot of things she sleuths up that make excellent pigments—most of which go to her mate, Wrapped in Fail. She absolutely adores the skill with which he fails to fail. In fact, they first met while he was failing to remain airborne while painting a mural. He considers finding Dykrr was so much of a success that it doesn't matter that he completely ruined the facade he was supposed to be painting (and still regularly apologizes for landing on her). He loves the limelight that his extreme luck attracts, and few are aware that much of his success is due to the shy but lovely little mint who is a near-constant presence in his shadow.
