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.

This canopy dragon is not particularly good at judging his location relative to trees, and keeps underestimating his wingspan. When he inevitably clips his wingtip against a branch, he exclaims extraordinarily loudly. He is so embarrassed by his klutziness that he refuses to tell anyone his name, so he is generally referred to using his preferred exclamation. Even on the ground, he stubs his toes on tree roots, and pebbles enough that one watching him would question canopies' reputation for dexterity and grace.
