Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable 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.

Banana Beta Prime is one of those obnoxious dragons who believes it is Christmas all year long, except during the real Christmas season, during which he insists that it is the Festival of Eggs. From January to November, he is gifting everyone with festively-wrapped presents (usually bananas; which is frustrating, since everyone in the Madder Jungle knows that a gifted banana is not as tasty as one you got for yourself), yet when it is finally the season to be giving, he becomes single-mindedly focused on looking for eggs that he believes are deposited all over by a species of monotreme known as 'Easter bunnies'. Easter bunnies are well-known, of course, but they only lay eggs for a brief period in the spring. What if anything Banana Beta Prime finds on his winter egg-hunt is unknown. The most probable answer is: bananas.
