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.

Pint-Mint was not named immediately after he gendered as is the custom in his clan.  He actually did not receive his name until he had been an adult for about two weeks.  When he first matured, he was often confused for the other adult mint dragon in the clan, Mint-Pint.  Because of this, the other dragons of the clan thought it would be funny to name him the reverse of Mint-Pint's name:  Pint-Mint.  At first he hated his name and hated the fact that he was named after a girl, for he is quite the manly male (despite his lack of size).  However, he has grown to like his name and also, to like the girl that he was named after.
