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.

Umbrella Leaves is a handsome male dragon. His wings are longer and larger than most, and have a strange, golden shine to them, perhaps because his mother is a gold dragon. As a result, he is one of the faster fliers of the canopy horde. Umbrella Leaves is especially fun to watch in the evening, when his wings glow brightest, for he likes to take some time to dive and somersault in the air to impress the females, though it seems that he only has eyes for one of them. He has devoted his afternoons to pestering Kapok Arrow, who usually brushes off his advances with a disapproving glare, but the two seem quite close anyways.
