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.

This small agile dragon was one of the first dragons to hear the calling of the divine dragon Jack Bass. He is considered one of the Shadowhawk clan founders, yet even so the other dragons do not take this puny creature seriously and tease him mercilessly. Only The clan leader GoldHawk takes LeafHawk seriously due to a disturbing dream. GoldHawk had dreamed that when Ice, Magma, and Lightning come together the force they summon would be too great a power for Jack Bass, the Shadowhawk clan, and the creepy human who kidnaps eggs from god knows where to stop the chaos that ensues. Only if the dragons worship a Jack Bass and respect Leafhawk can this fate be avoided.
