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.

Since the egg of little Ug-Nug was obtained, he had been relentlessly coddled due to his unique and special egg origin—the cave. No dragon could have prepared this owner or any of the dragons she owned for the moments, though, when Ug-Nug decided to burst from his cold damp cave shell. As his name and habitat suggest, Ug-Nug is rambunctious and stubborn, similar to a caveman, yet slightly different to the normal demeanor of Mints. He roughhouses with the other April Fool Mints obtained by this owner, which has left him mate-less. It is speculated among the other dragons that the reason for his rowdy nature and inability to court any of the Female April Mints is due to the owner's inability to secure him a Cavemint mate for the next season. They affirm the belief that should Ug-Nug obtain a mate in the next April season, he shall pacify. Perhaps only then will his qualms cease, and he be a peaceful Mint once more.
