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.

When Magikarp was born, her entire family went into a frenzied state of hysteria that had not been seen since tales of the first Geode spread through the land. She had all the magical talent of her father and all the love of water her mother had; such a thing had not been heard of in centuries. Her family's fears were quickly put to rest when a sibling was born in a cove not too far away, and then another, and another. Magikarp isn't very bright, but she enjoys playing in the waves on sandy coasts and splashing dragons that come near. Gyrados is her mate as well as her dear friend, and the two are always to be seen on secluded beaches, blowing bubbles and building elaborate castles out of sand.
