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.

This male is a very lovely Gold-Horned Tangar. Unfortunately, however, the humans don't always seem to understand that. They'll stare blankly up at him and guess Canopy, Neotropical, Summer Seasonal before finally giving up and stalking off with a muttered "too many bloody green dragons." This never ceases to offend him, and the insulting party usually gets a few nice-sized coconuts dropped on their heads in retaliation.
