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.

Zalumi's name comes from Latvian word for "foliage". She's not seen very much because she spends so much time in the trees! Zalumi's a little bit of a snob, and thinks Neotropical Dragons are superior to every other breed. Any Dragon who doesn't live in the trees, is seen as uncivilized and primitive. Her view is that if anyone wants to spend time with her, they've got to come up to her tree to do so! Needless to say, many Dragons don't waste their time on this stuck up Dragon. However, she has many friends amongst her own kind, and this is perfectly fine by her.
