Neotropical Dragons are a breed that originate in rainforests. They are fun-loving and enjoy lounging on tree branches, eating whatever fruit they find. They are also often found sunning themselves on rocks, using their large wings to soak up the rays. In the summer, males compete for mates by showing off their striped wings and gliding in spirals down the tree trunks. It is said that the larger the wings, the more likely the male will attract a suitable mate.

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.

Pie Banana originally came from a far-away region where neotropicals were not obsessed with bananas, but one visit to the Madder Jungle cured her of this strange banana-apathy forever. In an interview, she told CB Q Summer Seasonal Stormtide, "As soon as I saw a banana in the Madder Jungle, it was like waking up for the first time—hatching out of the shell of normalcy into a far more exciting Valkemare!" While she struggled at first to learn all the intricacies of the well-established tradition of oddly-specific rules about when one can and cannot steal a banana, after taking a course at Seven Questions University on the subject (they do have an Oddly Specific department there, after all) she learned how to steal a banana just as well as her peers who have spent their whole lives in the Madder Jungle. She has sent a number of letters home, but for some reason, none of her family seem interested in coming to visit. She doesn't let it bother her, they don't know what they're missing.
