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.

Possessing brilliant-blue nails, Neonail could doubtless have charmed any canopy female he desired into his nest. And he would have, to, if he hadn't run into that elegant neotropical one morning as he danced through the still-damp expanses of the forest. The two had many similar interests--the beauty of nature, art, helping others--and became fast friends, and then soon enough they were mates. Of course, Neonail still attempts his particular breed's mating ritual from time to time, winging through the trees at high speeds in an attempt to impress her, which leaves the neotropical blinking and utterly confused by his efforts.
