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.

Kaleo is a humble dragon. He prefers the simpler life; such as the life he now has. Day in and day out he passes his time in the trees by hunting birds for snacks or looking for fruit to bring to his mate, Kalani. Kaleo is gentle and kind; he never thinks of himself, but usually is thinking of the welfare of others. He never asks anything in return, because his reward is being able to make others a little bit happier through their day-to-day life. Many of Violet's dragons really respect him for his generosity.
