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.

Nimp likes to chew. She chews on every type of plant she comes across, but her favorite by far is the old gum tree. She found that she could chew on the resin from it for hours while enjoying the kookaburra's song.

Once, Nimp sneezed while chewing, and caused the gummy resin she was chewing to form a bubble in front of her mouth. Now she practices blowing bubbles as she chews, popping them loudly when successful. The noise is a complete giveaway to where she is, making her very easy to find.

The kookaburra still keeps her company, using Nimp's popping noises as a counterpoint to his song.
