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.

Too busy preening to eat, Gryphon must be absolutely certain that his pearly white scales and shimmering golden stripes are one hundred percent spotless. As a result, he spends little time outside of the Cave (No thanks, there's dirt out there) to catch any food. He's horrifyingly thin because of his vanity and all anyone can do is keep an eye on him and make sure that he doesn't accidentally starve himself. Some sympathetic dragons bring him food, and Dino herself occasionally manages to drag his shiny hide outside so he hunts for himself every once and a while, If it weren't for the effort of the Cave members, he might have already wasted away admiring his reflection in the mirror.
