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.

Melia knows that the world is a dangerous place. Trees can drop on you in a moment's notice if you walk through the forest. You can drown in the sea. The desert will kill you with heat and lack of water. An avalanche can hit you in the mountains any time. The jungle contains more poisonous species per square mile than there are known dragon breeds. And well—volcanoes should be obviously avoided. Melia prefers to stay in her nice safe lair and have a friendly Black Tea lure some food her way on regular basis to any of that foolish exploring the hatchlings are so keen on.
