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.

Banana Fuufd has a habit of picking bananas and "bopping" them on the stem—mushing the stem-end into something (usually a tree) and announcing "Bop!" onomatopoeitically. She doesn't do it on purpose, it's an unconscious habit that she tries desperately to break. She doesn't even like mushed bananas. She once heard a human's legend about a creature called 'Fufu' who would bop things too, so when she is caught at it, she apologizes about having "fuufed". None of the other Madder Jungle neotropicals have heard the tale, so it has devolved into her nickname. Now everyone uses it so much that not even she remembers what her 'official' name might have been.
