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.

Herbsie, as she is generally called, is a shy little thing. Though she is among the very oldest of the dragons in the Strike clan, very few dragons outside of the mints even know she exists. This is the way Herbsie prefers it. Herbsie dislikes the attention and spotlight that would swing her way if the entire cave acknowledged her existence, and instead prefers to quietly recede into the shadows as the matriarch of the mints within the Strike cave. While the leadership of the rest of the cave are aware of Herbsie's little mini-clan, they tolerate it as a good society for the often-ignored mints, and leave Herbsie and her little clan be.
