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.

Little Pip was a perfectly happy young dragon, content to soar above the tree-tops. However, when he met Little Estella, a cold yet beautiful Whiptail, he fell in love. He was afraid that his acts of grace and agility would not win her heart. Many a female had fallen for him, but none of them were quite so elegant as Little Estella.

He began to wish that he was something better. While many females fell for dragons of his kind, it seemed that Little Estella required something more.

Little Pip tried and tried to be something he wasn't. After all his attempts failed, Little Pip was dejected. At last, Little Estella spotted Little Pip soaring above the treetops. She was astonished by his natural talents, and his dedicated personality. She agreed to be his mate, and he learned that being yourself is the best way to be.
