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.

Wadaduga laughed as she bounded away, leaving the brothers panting behind. She couldn't help but taunt them just a little bit as the two slowed to a stop. Ayolige growled and tried to leap after her only to be stopped when Udanilage pinned his younger brother's tail to the ground. Wadaduga laughed and kept on going, glowing with satisfaction at her victory. She is the fastest dragon in the valley, no one can keep up with her. Not even the brothers. Possibly, the only dragons that could run circles around her were whiptails and there where none that lived here. So, until the day the winds bore a whiptail egg, Wadaduga would remain the fastest dragon in Suyeta Valley.
