Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

TreeGrowsNight is a Canopy Dragon who loves to glide. He will climb up to the upper branches, and carefully try to launch himself high into the air so he can see his whole jungle spreading out below him. TreeGrowsNight isn't the most graceful of his kind, and he often ends up falling out of the trees instead. Then he has to quickly turn so he can glide down instead of plummeting to the ground. He usually ends up down on the jungle floor, and has to climb back up to the upper branches of the canopy. Other Canopy dragons make fun of him, and TreeGrowsNight is usually feeling humiliated.
