Gold-horned Tangars are a brightly colored tropical breed. They are primarily herbivores, and eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers in addition to the occasional bird. Tangars are well suited to life in the trees; their slender bodies make them light enough to be supported by thinner branches and agile enough to avoid obstacles while flying. Their brightly colored horns, found in both males and females, are used to attract mates.

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.

Known to some as the "jungle prince", T'Kvash III claims to come from a royal lineage in a faraway land. He does not assert his supposed royal status often, although he is always proud to reveal his ancestry should anyone ever ask. Due to his quiet nature and elusive lifestyle, most dragons of the clan never really notice him until they venture deep into the jungle. However, he is actually very well known among the small population of clan dragons who live within the jungle that he presides over and meticulously tends to. Among this group, it is generally understood that he does not come from a true royal family, but rather he possesses a purebred lineage—which, in the culture of that faraway land, makes him a "royal".
