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 a hatchling, this dragon loved to jump out of his treetop nest backwards.  Lying on his back and closing his eyes, he would let himself float haphazardly down to the jungle floor.  He looked for all the world like a falling leaf, until upon closer inspection you could make out his wings, and then when he knew you were looking, he'd open up one jewel eye and peek at you!  His falling, floating, sleepy dragon game is why he is called Leaf's Dream.
