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.

This robust and manly dragon likes to keep his part of the ocean clean. He will swim across the ocean floor and organize various stationary creatures into pleasing patterns. One might find some Osedax worms decorating a coral wall, along with rocks stacked in odd manners not found in nature. Various kelp and seaweed patches are "pruned" into rounded shapes, which surround a deep sea castle carved out of coral and rock. On the tops of the delicate coral walls, anemones and tube-worms are placed, acting like flags blowing in the wind. They are used to determine which way the tides are flowing so they do not knock down the living sculptures, which were so meticulously stacked.
