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.

Mint Cone is a total bookworm—er, bookdragon. She loves sitting in Sheik 30999's most cozy chair in her owner's house while Sheik reads multiple pages or stories from various books. Of course, Cone prefers medieval-fantasy. The small mint dragon delights in listening pleasantly for hours and hours while her owner reads this book to her, Malinda Gordon, a frozen Nebula hatchling, and Ogopoga, a water horse. Mint Cone has to read at least ten pages per day before she skips—yes, skips!—back to her cave, where she dozes off and dreams about literature. Quite intelligent, she loves helping the other dragons with puzzles or riddles. Her favorite pasttime, besides being read to at night, is to look at picture books from her owner's private library.
