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.

When Minze was a hatchling she encountered Oberlauf, who initially frightened her immensely, and did her best to avoid him.  However, she could not evade him for long, and ultimately wound up giving in and let him be her friend.

His presence and constant attempts to get her to socialize terrified her, often cause her to hide.

Over time, she realized that he didn't frighten her anymore, and that she felt safe and comfortable in his presence, and this feeling of security and calm did not take long in developing into love.
