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.

Soul Cake Duck is mild in temperament, brightly-colored, and easy to shoot, and rumored to be paranoid because of the first three descriptors. It doesn't help that she has what looks like a big target marked on her. Despite the dangers, she still travels the region, leaving chocolate eggs for humans on a special Tuesday, and hopes no one will try to kill her. After spotting her a few times, humans associated her with the beginning of the hunting season, sweets, and soliciting sweets, called "trickle-treating".
