Draggle Forest

The Draggle Forest is a rainforest biome just south of the equator, on the continent Huiran. The ecosystem experiences high average temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall. Tropical rainforests are a type of tropical wet forest (or tropical moist broadleaf forest) and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest. Rain forests play an important role in maintaining biological diversity, sequestering and storing carbon, global climate regulation, disease control, and pollination.

Typical of a rainforest, the Draggle Forest is divided into 4 layers. The forest floor receives only 2% of the sunlight and only plants adapted to low light can grow in this region; the understory-layer lies between the canopy and the forest floor. The understory is home to a number of birds, small mammals, insects, reptiles, and predators. Examples include the Panthana, Peacocks and Seerling. The canopy layer is the primary layer of the forest forming a roof over the two remaining layers. It contains the majority of the largest trees, typically 30–45 m in height. Tall, broad-leaved evergreen trees are the dominant plants. The densest areas of biodiversity are found in the forest canopy, as it often supports a rich flora of epiphytes, including orchids, bromeliads, mosses and lichens. The emergent layer contains a small number of very large trees, called emergents, which grow above the general canopy, reaching heights of 45–55 m, although on occasion a few species will grow to 70–80 m tall.

The Draggle Forest exhibits a vast diversity in plant and animal species, including many species of Fae; most notably, Banshees; and acts as a protective forest layer for the Thearshire Rainforest.
