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.

Gazer was always a strange hatchling, spending her time investigating the stars as opposed to catching and eating the small insects that are important to a stripe hatchlings development. Due to this, she is smaller than an average adult stripe and frail. Despite her dependence on others to survive, she is more than happy with it and often trails behind other dragons for accompaniment. She still gazes at the stars at night, thus her name.
