Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

Slow moving and maybe even slower in mind, Tulperine is a dragon whose presence rarely ever causes trouble. It tends towards silence most of the time, even towards its own kind, and on occasions it will not move for decades, instead letting the deep ocean currents push it about. It is such a placid dragon in fact that scavengers on the deep ocean floor sometimes mistake it for a corpse, and it is these sea creatures which Tulperine feeds on most of the time.
