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.

Minty could be described as the shyest of the shy, going beyond even his species' norm to such an extent that he tends to attempt to hide when introduced to strangers. He prefers sunny days to cloudy, and absolutely loves to chew the leaves of the plant for which he was named. Loud noises make him flinch. If ever Minty could find a gentle mate of a quiet species, he would be eternally happy.
