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.

Coelurosauravus prefers to showcase his awesome skills over everything, dancing through the tops of the trees above dragons training for battle, as if to mock their strikes, dodges and flight patterns, which seem stiff in comparison. He "dropped out" of the Firewind battle training program, deciding that his balance and agility would perpetually be superior to that of his clanmates' and refused to replicate anything less than a battle move worthy of a canopy dragon. As a hatchling, he merely watched the others and adapted their moves so that he could use them in the treetops.

Although he is certainly more agile than his peers, Coelurosauravus's fighting skills are mediocre at best. Regardless, he insists that he is among the best of the Firewind's warriors, and displays his techniques to all that are willing to see them. When others ask why he is an excellent fighter yet one of his clan's lowest-ranking warriors, he tells them the others were simply too jealous to promote him.
