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.

Uzuku likes to catch his meals on the go, and his favorite snacks are quick-flying dragonflies. He is especially fond of the particularly acrobatic ones that fly haphazardly all over the place, and will often let a dragonfly get away if its aerial maneuvers seem amusing enough. Sometimes he wishes he could be as agile in the air, and for fun Uzuku will follow dragonflies for miles, attempting to imitate their flight pattern while still avoiding any obstacles he encounters along the way.
