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.

There's something about this dragon that's simply... unnerving. Whether it's his soft but commanding voice, lonely castle home, or the faint scent of death that seems to cling to him--there's simply something off about him, and so most people stay well away. Rumors abound that he's a vampire, and while they'd be wrong, the line of thinking is right. The child of a marrow dragon, he has a taste for flesh and bone, although he chooses to only ever dine on things already dead. Still, he can't blame people for being frightened of him, and in a way is almost glad of it; better for them to fear him on the basis of rumors than to regard him as a monster for the truth.
