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.

Ask a Banana is one of the most informative dragons in the Madder Jungle. He loves to share informative facts to anyone who will listen, from well-known ones such as "Madder doesn't grow in the Madder Jungle." to more dubious ones such as "all of Valkemare is moving at thousands upon thousands of kilometers a second—and keeps passing through this quasi-aetherial black red elderberry bush that grows only kippers, and NOBODY NOTICES IT." Often, these facts turn out to be ploys so that he can steal bananas—it is a well-known fact that a stolen banana tastes better than a non-stolen one.

Any time anyone or anything asks Ask a Banana any question, he will answer. Sometimes, he can be heard answering questions without being asked, and when asked about it he claims that some inanimate object (like trees, rocks or bananas) was asking.
