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.

Moss Fang is the second daughter of Sprout Fang and Lichen Scale. Technically, since female members of the canopy horde generally take the first name of the mother, and the last name of the father, her name would actually be Lichen Fang, like her sister, but she was renamed to distinguish her from her older sister. Moss Fang is rather kind-hearted and soft-spoken. None of the other dragons can ever remember a time when she ever insulted anyone. However, if it comes down to it, her teeth pack a nasty bite.

She and Weed Claw seem rather close.
