Shallow Water Dragons are found in tropical regions where the water is warm. They use their magic to hunt, using bubbles to capture small fish and animals. Their large, webbed feet make them excellent swimmers and they are able to move at very high speeds. Due to their bright color, these dragons are easily spotted in the lagoons where they live.

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 dragons of Clementine were surprised to see a flash of orange among the Deirwater tribe, as Strudel had informed them that Shallow Water dragons don't stray far from tropical waters.

Luxor, however, is colder within than even the frigid water at the poles. To him, warm water feels scalding. The Deirwater tribe were disinclined to let him join their group, as his orange scales offer no camouflage, but they accepted him because of his skill with magic. Although he doesn't reveal much about himself, he appears to enjoy causing destruction and putting fear in the hearts of others.

In the fight against Clementine, Luxor has become a major strategist. If anything were to happen to Peter, it looks like Luxor would be a prime candidate to take his place.
