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.

A complete opposite of his cheerful, reckless mate, Ubharn is a very serious dragon. When a small unimportant mistake is made, he is almost always the first to find and correct it (much to the annoyance of other dragons), and when he was a hatchling, the phrase "it's just a game" used to be heard very often. It is quite a mystery how he and his mate, Haijitaa the magi dragoness, manage to tolerate each other. Because of his slight perfectionism, Ubharn is a member of the clan's council since his ideas are always very well thought out.
