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.

In his spare time, Propagule loves to visit the town to view theater and read novels, especially a series of works, but he never finishes the ones he really likes. If he finds a standalone book amazing, he'll return it to the library without reading it to the end, and if he thinks a play is awesome, he'll leave before it reaches the climax. In his opinion, things are better that way because the emotional responses he feels while viewing will last longer. Completing something means there is no more story, no more character development, no more excitement—it's over. Propagule does not wish to "use up" a loved work for fear the emotional high he has will be marred by the terrible realization that the piece is over. The director and cast know their favorite tree-dwelling visitor thinks this way, so they aren't bothered by his leaving early, but they still think his behavior is kind of strange.
