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.

Beware of Fiery Flaming Flamingo of Doom; like her name forewarns, she has a very fiery personality. Her fellow dragons claim that she is so violent because she has been rescued from a burning oven as a hatchling, while others say that she's just been incubated a little too long as an egg. Whichever theory it may be, one must always be sure to never disturb Fiery Flaming Flamingo; otherwise, she may demonstrate how she received the "Doom" part in her name.
