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.

Pemallu's name comes from the Indonesian word for "timid", although he believes he was named wrongly. Unlike most of his brethren, Pemallu tries very hard to overcome his natural shyness. He is often out and about, meeting new Dragons and trying new things. He also encourages other Mints to do the same. He still gets a little nervous about new encounters, but has gotten very good at getting past it. As a result, he's done many things other Mints haven't, such as swimming with the water Dragons and watched the Whites practicing their magic.
