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.

"Crazy Locker" Leviathan earned his nickname from a peculiar habit he has of hiding in a large, sunken locker from which it is virtually impossible to lure him away.  He hides in the locker because he is terrified of fish!  Whenever he comes out of his locker to eat, he is very careful only to hunt the smallest and least threatening fish in the lake; a large fish that shows any aggression at all will have Leviathan charging straight for his locker to hide.  Since he only eats small fish, whenever he is out of his locker, he can be found in the shallows, hunting fry and other young...which leaves him exposed to teasing from playful dragons in the clan.  He usually responds by splashing them with waves generated by his powerful tail, though he never sticks around to find out if the wave hit or not; he swims back to his locker as soon as he splashes them.
