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.

Tropical Blaze is his tribe's hunter. Slim, fast, and quick-witted, he is perfect for catching meals for the other tribal dragons. His cat-like reflexes and incredible foresight prove he is a force to be reckoned with, but his severely damaged wings render him useless for flight. Every couple of nights, Tropical Blaze goes out into the Forests of Life and kills rabbits, deer, birds, even bears by sneaking up on them and ripping them apart limb from limb. However, while he is powerful and vicious, he is also quite small for a dragon of his breed and would be an easy target if he were not so quick on his feet.
