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.

The elder dragons in Mentha's cave told the hatchlings that they could grow up to be anything they wanted to be, if they only tried.  Mentha promptly decided that she wanted to grow up to be a Skywing dragon, and was often spied jumping off of boulders in an effort to fly.  As she grew older, she realized the essential problem with her ambition, and resigned herself to her fate as a ground-dwelling Mint dragon.  Still, sometimes, when no one is watching, she takes a flying leap off of a rock or a hill--just in case.
