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.

Grimith is the oldest dragon in his clan, though he wasn't the first one adopted by his keeper. He doesn't spend much time with the clan, and instead tends to a variety of trees near the edge of the forest, including quite a few fruit trees. Anyone who tries to steal the fruit is driven off. He instead gives it to those who ask nicely.

As the oldest he is the clan's official record keeper, and has quite the nice hand-writing for a dragon writing on cave walls.
