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.

Answering to the name Venomous, this dragon lives in a group of females who are led by two male Canopy Dragons. She is shy to strangers, always hiding in the shadows and running away if they try to interact with her. When she is just with her group, she is just as silent, but becomes dangerous. She slips things in the female member's food, getting them sick. She sets traps that cause others to get injured. Venomous gains a sick joy at watching trapped creatures, observing them with rapt attention as they wither in pain.

Her interactions with the two male leaders, Gold and Silver, are always strange. With Gold, she does what he asks but doesn't make him happy. He has started to ignore her more, but she is just fine with that. Silver, on the other hand, gets sick at how she enjoys others pain.

Venomous has never talked and has proven that she never can; her tongue was chopped in half, with a broken stub left in the back of her throat.
