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.

This dragon is, to many, nothing more than a thing of myth; a wisp of the imagination, stirred into creation by the meddles of some daydream drake. But she is real, as real as you and I and any other thing. Her species has never had any tie to fire, despite their coloration, but despite this she produces a corona of her own heat, a cloaking blaze that destroys any fragile plant she touches. One would think this aura would make her easy to spot, but she remains largely a creature of legend: a spot of flame in the night's forest, and then it is gone.
