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.

Deleriah is a Canopy Cave Elder of EG's Cave. Unlike all of the other Canopy dragons of EG's Cave, her mind has not been affected by the nearly deadly disease that has ravaged the Canopy community. She resides on the edge of the Arakiahoga Forest near the Heal Sector so that her clan may receive constant treatment. She hopes that one day there will be a cure for the disease.

The Canopy disease makes each Canopy dragon disoriented and seems to only affect Canopy dragons. Deleriah has contracted the disease and has trouble flying, but she is not at all disoriented.

Because of her activism for her clan, she has earned great renown.
