When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

BradaighsFrogs, known as Brad to those he holds dear, is one of the water dragons that live in the ocean. Living in the ocean means that Brad has visited just about every sea shore. He also claims to have visited the lost city of Atlantis though most other dragons scoff at him and tell him to stop pulling their tails. Vampyre doesn't get to visit Brad very much because he is always gone but when he visits her he always brings her a treasure from some sunken wrecks.
