Ghanser Dragons are a small but extremely mischievous breed of dragon found in marshes, swamps, and ponds. Their two heads are active and gluttonous, searching any crevices or rocks they come across for food. They are omnivores that will eat shellfish, crustaceans, bugs, fruits, taproots, tubers, and soft leaves and grasses. Ghanser defend themselves from would-be predators with short-range precognitive abilities: they can see predators approaching before it actually happens, and avoid them entirely. This also means that when they come across human settlements, they cause trouble whenever they know they won’t be caught.

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.

Two-headed dragons are unique enough to deserve a separate classification from ordinary dragons. They have two necks, two brains, two mouths, but one stomach and one main body. The two heads usually work together, but there are times when they will fight each other, snapping back and forth. Their unique anatomy prevents them from breeding with single-headed dragons.

Sukimako lives near a lovely picturesque pond that keeps getting invaded by painters. Every other day, it seems, there's someone dragging an easel up to the far banks to paint part of the lake, sometimes with a model posed nearby for a portrait. Most of the time Suki just leaves the painters alone, content to let them enjoy their hobby or profession, but on occasion there's someone who is just too rude to ignore. If a model is too chatty or the painter starts dripping paint on the grass, Suki happily takes to the water to either spoil the scene of the landscape or splash at the artist. Typically when she pulls these antics the painters leave, but she has made some friends with the few who apologized and drew her some nice sketches in recompense for their previous indiscretion.
