Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.

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.

Tropics is, clearly, one of the favorites of his master. The passive Tanger, although occasionally spunky, enjoys the companionship of his dear master. He's a gentle-natured beast, who clearly has an eye for a female Tanger, Valley Moss. He enjoys taking his time to attempt to impress his lady, bringing her assortments of fruit, stolen gold bands, vibrant flowers, and so on. Secretly, she returns his affections, she's just too stubborn to admit it. For now, the love-struck Tropics finds himself dragging his lady to stunning sunsets of gold in hopes of one day winning over her heart. Perhaps one day, he'll finally figure out that he already has it.
