Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Lantic is a very independent dragon due to the fact he is often far away from his owner. Lantic's owner travels to places many skylengths away from oceans and Lantic refuses to leave the comfort of his sandy nest at the beach. Avanish doesn't mind and is proud of his dragon's ability to take care of himself. Lantic is a very quiet male that enjoys the little things in life like quiet evenings all alone at the beach, skimming the waters' surface with his tail.
