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.

Shiny Treecko is the X-Clans enemy spotter. He loves nothing more than to fly around the forest, getting a aerial view of the place. He often tells others that they should fly over head, as it is an amazing experience, much to the annoyance of sea dwelling creatures and hatchlings who have not matured. He is very playful, and him and Smocho often race each other, both being the fastest dragons out of the Clan. He hopes soon that a female Canopy dragon will join the Clan, as he doesn't really like any of the females. He ranks 9th in the X-Clan.
