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.

Toxaris ran away from the Elder's clan to live in the Sortefa forest when she was very young, hating being constrained by the highly conservative clan. She feels no responsibility to her fellow dragon or the Creorluna war; why should she when she was always shunned by her hatchmates for her erratic behavior.

She had well, an active imagination is probably the most politically correct way to put it. She always claimed that the plants around her were talking to her and anyone who said otherwise would get their muzzle doused in tree-sap at the earliest opportunity. Needless to say she was completely ostracized by the others.

Toxaris fancies herself the forest's guardian and while she is bazaar she'll fight tooth and nail to defend the place, setting booby traps filled with giant puffball mushrooms and vats of hot tree-sap around its boarders and just generally making herself a nuisance. It seems to work as ever since she started living there, Sortefa has been marked no-man's-land.
