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.

Lime-Green Pirate, or just Pirate, is a mint of many interests. He enjoys collecting unusual plant life and is always ready for an opportunity to show them to another dragon or person.

As time wore on and new dragons came to live in his cave, Pirate noticed that he wasn't the only one who was interested in the fields of science. Among these dragons were Albani, the blue dragon, and Gosnald, the balloon dragon. Eventually deciding that their studies would be more successful as a group, the mint suggested the formation of a "Science Team", using one of the cave's larger chambers as a laboratory. This idea was approved by the other dragons, and the Science Team of Panic's Cave was formed.

Since this formation, Pirate has become quite accomplished at balancing time between the group and his mate, Bandit.
