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.

The first dragon Ivy ever met, Citru Scales (who prefers to go by "Citrus") proves to be a courageous and kind-hearted dragon. Even though he acts tough around others, he's a complete softy and loves nothing more than exploration. Often getting carried away while springing from branch to branch, it's not uncommon for Citrus to find himself at the edge of the jungle. It was one of these over-adventurous days that Citrus found himself face-to-face with a particularly beautiful Royal Blue dragon at the edge of the mountains. Immediately charmed by each other, the two grew to become loyal mates.
