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.

Mizuhikari Suraisu, meaning Slice of Water Light, is a cheerful dragon who enjoys eating bugs and basking in the sun. Mizuhikari is also very friendly to all walks of life, excluding bugs, and doesn't seem to mind when the local villagers or children come near. Although Mizuhikari rarely takes them for flights, he has been known to do it before with a little urging.
