Shallow Water Dragons are found in tropical regions where the water is warm. They use their magic to hunt, using bubbles to capture small fish and animals. Their large, webbed feet make them excellent swimmers and they are able to move at very high speeds. Due to their bright color, these dragons are easily spotted in the lagoons where they live.

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.

Lei always admired the above-sea-level dragons. She could breath above water, but her webbed hands and feet were meant to glide through the liquid land of the sea, not terra firma. She could not even fly in the air! However, what bothered her the most was that under the sea there were no flowers! Lei loves flowers; it started when Helix showed her one when she was a hatchling.

When she was grown up, her father, Ezekiel, came up with an idea to get his daughter to her precious flowers. He obtained a giant fishbowl and filled it up with water. Then the fishbowl was placed on a wheeled platform, and Lei dove into it. Any kind dragon with time on their hands (Or wanting some strength training) grabbed a rope connecting to the platform and wheeled Lei around. It was an ingenious solution, which benefited Lei.
