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.

Tang is a laid back and "groovy" kind of dragon. He never gets really riled up about anything and just spends his time watching his clan mates, contemplating their rather hectic lives, and thinking about deep stuff. Most of the other dragons think that he's quite the slacker not really pulling his weight in the clan. They also accuse him of not caring enough about important issues. But a couple of the not-so-judgemental dragons have come to the conclusion that Tang is actually quite wise in his "not really caring all that much" attitude. He has often broken up fights between clan mates by making both parties see how silly their argument was in the first place and by making them laugh about their own stupidity.

And if that doesn't work then both parties getting angry at him for making fun of the issue has also proven quite unifying at times.
