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 dragon wouldn't stop calling himself "My Precious" from the day he was born, but somehow he always rolled his s into a long, ghastly hiss. Some of his disdainful comrades began to call him "My Precioussss" in a mocking tone of voice that never failed to irritate him. He now rarely has this problem, due largely to the fact that the "offending party"-as he himself likes to say-is in danger of receiving a sound clout on the head from him. His best (and perhaps only) friend is Silverlight.
