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.

Weed Claw is a highly-respected member of the horde, for it is he who takes care of the trees in their part of the jungle-- pulling off parasites, clipping unhealthy or dying branches, and, of course, pulling weeds. He lives and breathes trees; even in his spare time, Weed Claw would count how many leaves were on each tree, and inspected even the slightest signs of a termite infestation, and therefore can be a bit cranky at times, but without him, the horde would never have lasted so long.
