Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.

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.

As soon as he hatched, Skrilly has been the object of two dragonesses' attention. Tangeri and Smjor, the other two female Tangars of the scroll, have been competing endlessly to catch his attention. The owner is afraid it's given him a big head and made him a snob. Skrilly struts about like some sort of king all day, everywhere, and drives all the other dragons bonkers for it.

He seems to prefer Smjor out of the two, for Tangeri has a mixed lineage, and the was Skrilly is now, he refuses to have any 'deviations from the proper line of kings'. Personally, the owner thinks he's gone round the bend.
