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.

Twitticher as a hatchling liked to sit very still while bugs flew near, then suddenly pounce on them. Over the years, he has refined this technique to just suddenly snapping the bugs out of the air when they get close enough, not even moving most of his body. For those too far away to see the bugs he is eating, it appears that he just sits and twitches an awful lot.
