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.

"...And it was then, that Sephiroth stumbled upon a magic cave, filled with coloured eggs. He had heard rumours that from those eggs, mystical, all-powerful dragons could be born. Disappointment struck him, however, when the first egg hatched and the hatchling grew into what appeared to be a shy, helpless, lizard, only slightly bigger than a normal iguana. To add a little irony to the situation, Sephiroth decided to name it "Tyranossaurus Rex", thus beginning his dragon-collecting hobby with a laugh."
