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.

Tropical Storm is commonly thought, by humans, to be able to start a storm; however, she merly, unlike others of her breed, prefers to play in the rain and thunder, as well as tan in the sun. Humans often look into the jungle during a rainstorm and see this dragon happily dancing, jumping, and playing around and think she is the cause. Most of the members of her breed think of her as strange, and they stay away from her.
