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.

Lady Laydon is an unusually small female Tropical dragon. When she was younger, humans captured her and harvested her feathers. Because of this, she looks much older than she really is, and appears to have been in fights. This is quite untrue, as though she is very distrustful, she is very peaceful. When not socializing with Guardios Steelhorn or the other females, she is tending to the eggs and hatchlings in the Tropical Cavern. She can also be seen conversing with Thunderbeast. Though she is very skittish, Thunderbeast has managed to gain her trust.
