Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Demjen flies along Kimbery's shadowy coast, and calls up the ores to meet him. Twists of copper and flakes of rust, cast-off trinkets and even the rare bit of native silver; he loves them all. He bears a lodestone around his neck, a gift from Autochthon, on a cord twisted of the wrack that the silent shores tossed up. Clever drake, he uses its attraction to other metals to find larger and larger pieces, and hauls them home in his talons.

     Demjen's perch is decorated with a chaos of metal bits large and small, and though he doesn't really know what to do with them, he uses his lodestone to drag them around, position them in new ways, and enjoy the light glinting off their many shattered edges.
