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.

Aqueolastrindalos doesn't just have a tricky name but is also a tricky dragon. He loves playing pranks on others, especially his companion, Aquasepheas. He secretly likes her but doesn't know how to express his affection, so he just pesters her. Day in and day out he lays vegetative triplines and riverbed rock tumblers, desperate ploys for her attention. Aquasepheas has large stores of patience and suffers his actions, mostly staying out of pity, as without her he would have no one.
