Mint colored dragons are the most peaceful of all dragons; they only eat plants unless they scavenge meat from an already dead animal. They also have no ways to attack others or defend themselves. They are much smaller than other forms of dragons since they only double in size when they mature. Mint dragons are unable to use magic and cannot fly since they lack wings. Their looks have given rise to the common insult of calling dragons “large lizards.”

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.

At first glance, Fooling Misprint looks like someone else who is more important. It doesn't matter where she goes, she keeps getting greeted by other dragons' names. Even when she was a youngster at home, her siblings kept mistaking her for her mother (especially when they were misbehaving). When she went to the Madder Jungle, everyone said, "Balloonamint—wait, no, you're not him." When she was ordering a coffee at a Star Doe's in Nworset, someone told her she sounded just like Mayor Kwntkz. She trekked across the Voiceless Desert and caused a panic when her footsteps shook the sands in a way nearly indistinguishable from the beating of a sandshark's tail. Even in small villages south of the Drowned Mountains, humans who had never met a mint before said, "Gosh, you remind me of someone..." All this is unintentional! Fooling Misprint wishes to be looked at as herself, not someone she might possibly resemble.
