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.

This canopy and friends get restless

And are looking for surprise

Therefore, should a chance arise

They will set off on a quest, less

Wary than they are unwise.

Her deep-sea colleague will attest

She calls her ridgewing friend her best

But the canopy is most impressed

By a dorsal she decries.

.

For he has a proper job!

For he runs a proper inn!

She may claim she'll come to rob

Everything he has on him

But the chance of that is slim.

When they spar, she lets him win.
