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.

Ecozone has a second set of horns, a pair of tiny bumps on her head between her regular green ones. They match her stripes rather well, but no other neotropical is known to have them. It's likely some kind of defect that really shouldn't be there. Her mother was too busy studying code and her father too busy playing with and eating hatchlings to notice anything funny about her when she was little. So much for parental support. One might expect Ecozone to get a lot of teasing and gossip, and she does, but she also doesn't try to hide the horns, and they don't get in the way of her doing her daily chores.
