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.

Sombrith was an unexpected arrival to the Royal Menagerie, the last survivor from an area thought long empty of dragons.  How he managed to scrape by on his own for so long is hard to imagine, and he would have soon been dead if he had not been rescued.  Though physically recovered, Sombrith still carries the emotional and mental scars of his trauma.  He drifts through the Stripe Enclosure like a ghost, shying away from other dragons and rarely straying far from a source of food.
