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.

Sermon is pretty well convinced that he is God, and spends much of his time trying to act accordingly. He often addresses the other dragons in his best booming, God-like voice (in reality, he sounds pathetic). He is frivolous, quirky and overall excells at acting like a child.

At night, however, he sheds his playfulness and sits alone on a high ledge, muttering what sounds like a set of rules for the other dragons. During nights of the full moon, he has been known to go completely stiff at midnight, his muttering rising to a wail until he utters a scream and topples to the floor of the cave, unconscious. He never seems to remember any of these occasions, however, dismissing the other dragons' concerns and boasting how he would never be so immature as to fall off a ledge at night.
