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.

Daine resides in the pine trees that grow all over the clan's mountain, rarely coming down to confer with the other dragons. She is unusually drawn to animals and protects the ones who live in her trees from the clan's hunters. Some say that she even communicates with the creatures, but most scoff at this- after all, no reasonable dragon would ever lower themselves to that level. Only Daine knows what her attention is always focused on, up there in the trees.
