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.

Roots is a very calm individual and has a carefree nature. He prefers to relax than over exert himself.

He can often be found gliding high over the treetops simply enjoying the view or hunting his favorite food, tropical insects.

His long time best friend is Blue Veins, the Whiptail Dragon. Though they've been friends since hatchlings, they have very different personalities (Shes fast paced and Hes laid-back), and they're different species, Roots is secretly in love with her.

He enjoys her visits and her zeal for life, although sometimes he wishes she would slow down just so he could tell her how he feels.
