Canopy Dragons love to soar above the tropical jungles and other densely forested areas. Their billowing, layered wings create generous lift that allows them to ascend effortlessly over the warm jungle. While their unique wings do not make them the fastest flyers, they are champion gliders. To further this end, dexterity, maneuverability, and grace are all judged by the females when selecting their mates from the males that can accurately complete the exhausting and elaborate courtship dance between the close growing branches of the upper canopy.

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.

Rippled Gloss is rather vainglorious, and as such, she's rather difficult to please.  She requires DreamCager to help wash her clean after every meal and refuses to leave DreamCager alone until it has been done!  Luckily, her owner loves to pamper all her dragons and never denies her.  The only time Rippled Gloss ever drops her constant preening is when the tug of nature calls her to the skies, where she could spend hours immersed in the pleasant feeling of flight.
