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.

Red and Yellow Striped is not the sort of dragon one looking for a clever name would go to. Many dragons don't want to name their offspring or themselves "Wyvern with Three Horns" or "Tree-Dwelling Green and Yellow". When she goes from a grassland into a forest, she will announce: "I'm going to the forest now. I'm on my way to the forest. I'm nearly at the forest. I'm at the forest. I'm entering the forest. I'm inside the forest..." Anyone who's annoyed by her behavior cover the holes at the sides of their heads and carry on with their business.
