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.

Many dragons hold secrets of varying natures. They never let Pemt be a secret-keeper, so she doesn't quite understand what they are but was nonetheless interested in inventing a secret or two of her own. Her cave-room is bare save for a green chair and a really nice poster, both of which Pemt deemed her secrets. Nobody has visited the little mint lately, so no one's discovered her two secrets yet. One day, when she was bored, she confided with her aunt about her chair and poster and made her promise not to tell anyone. By telling just one person, Pemt could feel the secrets becoming juicier and more exciting.
