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.

Calo (alternately pronounced KAH-LOW or KAY-LOW) is the hot tempered second son of Tenebrosa, the oldest dragon in these parts, and the first child of Halo Heishitori, who must be experienced as he is too difficult to explain.

Calo is full of youthful energy, fueled by his short fuse. Admittedly, he is good at heart and is very compassionate, but this softer side is often overshadowed by a raging sense of injustice in the world. If Calo wanted to be anything growing up, it was probably a mythological hero, smiting evil and protecting those who can't protect themselves.

When he does manage to relax, he is very fun to be around, becoming the life of the party--as skilled in aerobatics as ever a Canopy Dragon was.
