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.

Yuretei prides herself on her stealth, and feeds almost exclusively on large winged insects, usually strong fliers. She doesn't enjoy hunting for anything that she doesn't need to sneak up on, because she feels less of a sense of accomplishment when doing so. Hunting, she believes, should keep a dragon's senses sharp; actually finding food isn't as important to her because there's always easier prey to go after.
