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.

This dragon is a deadly murderer. His paper-thin wings, his keen eyesight and his accuracy help him soar through the air unheard, without bumping into any trees. He shares the rainforest with humans, which he believes are a wonderful snack. He swoops down and bites their necks with his dagger-sharp teeth, often leaving the poor things dead before they could even see him coming. His shadow is often the last thing that these humans see. It's an omen for death according to human storytellers.
