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.

Acees of the South is the patroller of the Southern tropic jungles. He is the ruler of the jungle areas of the cave and, if threatened, uses his quick gliding (as well as wit) to his advantage. Acees of the South is among the most playful among other dragons and his witty air tricks and sounds often get him into trouble with the other, more serious dragons (including the Nocturne Dragon, Raz'iax of the Stones). He can be found soaring over his kingdom, the jungle covered Isle of the South.
