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.

Time is, according to Banana to the Future, like a banana peel: once you step on it, you keep slipping, slipping, slipping... into the FUTURE! This gets her into arguments with Banana HAR2t, whose time metaphor is a banana flower. He thinks much of time happens at the same time, which she thinks is the wrong way around. She thinks that the past is slipping into the future as well as the present, because it has stepped on banana peels too, so it's not really the past. For her, death is when one runs out of momentum from sliding on their banana peel of time. That's how dozens, if not hundreds, of generations of dragons can exist concurrently! She doesn't know if there actually is a hundred-generation-long lineage where both ends are still actively keeping up with the present, but according to her calculations it is possible.

The majority of Banana to the Future's flockmates think she and Banana HAR2t spend too much time philosophising and steal their bananas.
