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.

Yew Flight is the son of Yew Talon and Fern Flight. He can be a bit shy around other dragons, so it takes a while for him to warm up to new arrivals. So far, he only accepts the company of his childhood friend, Moss Claw. One can usually see him curled up in an old tree stump in the daytime. Yew Flight is a lot more active at night, when he forages for wild fruit while the other dragons are asleep. Other dragons think that he does this because he doesn't want to attract attention to himself, but the resulting effect is quite the opposite.
