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.

Spirk is an interesting fellow; a one-of-a-kind dragon that has unthinkingly started a trend that many love. Spirk is also enjoyed for his deep thoughts and complex thinking, a trait that even people he met for the first time can see. Spirk is also very obvious, in a sneaky sort of way (if that makes any sense). Spirk's keeper, Kangaroowings, loves her brilliant Spirk and all that he has worked towards. Many in Spirk's field do not give enough credit to him, but without Spirk there would be few if any advances in his line of work. Kangaroowings can safely and proudly venture to say that Spirk has actually invented the topic that is loved by many. Spirk is known by several other nicknames, including Spork and KS. Some dislike Spirk for trivial reasons, but his friends and fans completely outweigh his bashers.
