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.

Degaia is the second son of Red Dragon TanKar Cudrack. Unlike his older half-brother Calo, Dega sticks close to his parents--especially his mother. Filled with secret ambitions, but with a slightly less fiery soul than Calo, Degaia has yet to truly find himself. He tries to look up to Calo, but struggles with finding the will to praise his brother's rash actions.

Because of this internal battle, Dega often comes across as nothing short of bipolar to strangers, switching from his usual quiet self to a madly outgoing imitation of Calo.
