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.

Muldock the Magnificent, in the interest of getting as much food as he can with relatively little effort, has formed a rather interesting relationship with the resident Howler Drakes. In return for the extra set of eyes and ears, he follows after them and feasts on any worms and grubs from the clawfuls of dirt the drakes leave behind them from their own search for food. Since Muldock was doing this even as a hatchling, the Howler Drakes do not see him as a threat. This cleverness is one of the reasons for this dragon's exuberant moniker.

Despite the similar names, Muldock the Magnificent and Wennic Muldock have no relation to each other. In fact, the two are hardly cordial when their paths do cross. It is arguable that the majority of tension is from Wennic due to her breed's nature, though to date nobody has been brave enough to put that theory to the test.
