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.

Vanana Banana Savana claims to have a problem with rhyme. She hears a chime which she feels is a crime every time she tries to speak. Week after week, she keeps this sometimes oblique poetic streak going strong. It's wrong, how her speech goes along like a song. She endures all the cures from brochures that don't treat her. She eats beets, bleats, and avoids sweets, which depletes her strength. Despite the length to which she goes, her speech still flows and she knows others wince. Since she's convinced, she stays mute. She won't dispute what is moot as she shoots after fruit, but she'll wheel with great zeal so she can steal a meal of bananas.
