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.

The oldest dragon in her vast territory, the wise and calm Tenebrosa is the recipient of an equally vast sea of praise and loyalty. Shy as a young dragon, she has seen enough to know how things work. And though she would rather stay out of conflict, she is not weak at all. Very similar to her longtime friends TanKar and Tigriss, Tenebrosa is inclined to show understanding and compassion even towards enemies, but only to a point. She will always stand her ground when threatened.

Tenebrosa is the matriarch of the Caravaggio family and spends a good deal of time wondering what new terrors her three sons are causing.
