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.

Hiccup's Wilderness is always out exploring. No matter what the weather, he is bound to be found in new places and he adores finding new things. He prefers to be alone to being with other Dragons and is occasionally so hooked up on what he is doing that he will sometimes even forget to eat. Wilderness has been found a few times to have dozed off and fallen asleep in random places thanks to tiring himself out and does not like to explore the same place more than once, even if this means flying the skies.
