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.

Teyla Dellia was watching the male Canopies air-dash, glide, and flutter about, trying to impress her and her girlfriends. Her friends were caught up in it, but not her. She wanted to find a male that could glide better than any of the rest, but he shouldn't have to use so much effort to do it.

A couple days went by of watching, but no one attracted her. But then she saw a much larger shadow on the ground, slowly going along. She looked up, and saw a Red dragon, gliding along the air just like she hoped a Canopy would do. She went up and got a closer look. He was asleep! This was the one for her. Sure, he wasn't a Canopy dragon, but he was an amazing glider. After following him around for a couple days, he finally took notice and they had an egg.
