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.

Blue Lightning's Revenge (commonly referred to as "Blue") is a very charismatic fellow. He tries to live in a very extravagant and wild manner, but of course, his mate will gently remind him to not go too far. Usually, he does so anyway, which creates all sorts of wacky situations. He has sired six children, one of them being mothered by his ex-mate, Tinsel Starshine. Two of them were accidentally abandoned. Blue still has found it hard to get over the loss of them, and it is not advised to bring it up around him too much.
