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.

Mace doesn't just view flying as a way to find a mate. He views it as an art form. He has learned to control every nuance of air current beneath his colorful wings and can all but hover right above the treetops when he spots something of interest beneath the canopy. Very frequently, he can be seen flying with Tenzi, Zyphex and Fiera, and occasionally he drops down to lower branches to talk to and keep an eye on Snoggins. He can't explain his fondness for the Cheese Dragon other than to say it has a unique way of viewing the world and sometimes makes him laugh.
