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.

Bananentine wants to develop a spell to turn bananas into bananas, but the other bananas think that is a really bad idea because someone might accidentally eat a banana that was actually a banana that had been turned into a banana. He thinks that's bananas, and nobody would mistake a banana for a banana even if he or she were transformed into a banana temporarily. A traveller who was rather confused about what was being discussed because banana and banana are homophones heard about the whole situation and cried, "That's cannibananalism!"
