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.

Aphrodima's egg was discovered in the rain forest by the natives that live there. About to be turned into dinner for the chief, soulskimmers arrived in time to save her egg. When her egg hatched, Aphrodima quickly turned into an annoyance constantly running away from soulskimmers and into the forest. Aphrodima seems to love everything around her, thus her name is inspired from the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. She enjoys basking in the sun on hot summer days as that is what gives her energy.
