Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Boog is a member of the Lilypad Conspiracy, an underground society dedicated to the discovery and preservation of knowledge. Ironically, not much is known about the actual organization, except that they keep an extensive index of all information available to them in an extensive subterranean cave system kept dry by the diligence of pygmies sworn to silence. Membership is by invitation only and highly selective, with only a few dragons deemed qualified to participate every few decades. He serves as their secretary for every meeting he is able to attend.
