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.

Smallish Green Dragon is a very intellectual Mint, being a wizard at chess and mancala. She helps the Caretaker by overseeing the distribution and storage of the cave's food supply. In her spare time she reads Gothic horror novels, along with the occasional detective thriller. She also has begun her own novel; however, the project is on hold indefinitely due to her lack of opposable thumbs.
