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.

Galdoon is a dragon hated by most other dragons, yet he has a big heart for his daughter. He has stolen treasure from countless dragons across the continent, except all of this was only to please his daughter, who rejects Galdoon. Galdoon's daughter hates him because at one point Galdoon was abusive to her at the time that his mate died, and gave her a large scar running from under her jaw to her right hip. Galdoon also has many small scars marking his body from when his daughter resisted him and a large scar across his left eye from when his daughter tried to stop him from hurting her.
