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.

Yeaqua is one of the few salt water dragons. She ventures across the four oceans, diving to unknown depths to hunt her favorite prey—squid! She enjoys splashing around with the dolphins and whales that occasionally accompany her on her journeys. Yeaqua, however, does get lonely and sometimes finds herself in estuaries where she plays with other water dragons from the fresh water areas.
