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.

As the second oldest member of the Arrow clan, Sidere is highly respected by the other members and is the dragon the others turn to when Rainefrost and Aurumcry are not around. He was deputy of the clan but decided to hand the responsibility of organizing daily hunting and border patrols to Aurumcry so that he could spend more time helping hatchlings perfect their flying techniques. As the only Canopy Dragon in the clan, he is often the scout when exploring new territory. He loves to show off his flight skills and colorful wings which makes the younger dragons impressed but older dragons annoyed.
