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.

Kidate is one of the few dragons in the pack with tamed parents. He was an egg with hardly any time left to survive when he was found, and quickly incubated and hatched. Going against pack standards, the dragons in the pack decided to let him stay- on the condition that Kidate become the night lookout. The hatchling readily agreed, and has so far remained loyal to his tasks to this day.

Kidate has a masked personality. He never displays much emotion and, under pressure, often tends to lash out at others.
