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.

"Dante'umani" means "He would know all".<br/>Dante is a deep thinker and loves knowledge for the sake of knowledge. He collects facts and information constantly and has a perfect memory for what he learns. He will converse with anyone, dragon or not, if there is a chance he will learn something new. While exploring the inland sea that is his home, he discovered human books in shipwrecks and taught himself to read them. His reputation for vast knowledge is so great that questing humans often seek him out for information, which he will give them in exchange for anything new they can teach him. As a result, he knows the name and rank of every noble in the Kingdom of Correx, the uses and properties of 493 herbs and spices, and how to knit, among other things.
