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.

'Lil Peppermint is Foxtrot's tiniest companion (Save for Babbie, the clan's hen) and an apprentice of the White Dragon, Angeni. She has a knack for gathering the freshest herbs and spices for potions, much to the delight of her tutor (Although she can't help but take a nibble on the succulent leaves, which she insists is purely her way of finding the best plants!)

Amongst the other dragons, she is affectionately known as Lil' Pep; her name shortened appropriately to match her bubbly and excitable personality, as well as her noisy tantrums when the larger members of her clan ignore her. Due to the downside of her minute size, she prefers the company of Babbie even though they can't understand each others' language. Peppermint considers herself as the older sister between them, but Babbie has been known to put the rambunctious dragon in her place.
