The amphibious Aranoas inhabit shallow brackish estuaries, rivers and lagoons. Being adept swimmers, they possess tough, vibrant scales that serve to protect the dragon from superficial physical harm, and double as a means to attract mates. Their large, cavernous maws are adapted to swallowing fish whole, and they have powerful limbs to propel them through the water. When mating, males and females will typically vie for the interest of the individual with the brightest scales and the largest dorsal fin. Due to this attraction, they are also prone to collecting shiny and colorful objects that they come across. With a diet primarily comprised of large freshwater or pelagic fish, they often hunt in groups to encircle schools of fish, making for an easier meal. While not very social, Aranoas will often inhabit areas in close proximity to each other should they require assistance in hunting, or to band together to ward off other species who pose a threat to their territory.

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.

4zaaG has a particular dislike for misfits and is known to lunge out of his lagoon just outside of Lloyprij hoping to swallow them much as he would one of his fish. While he can turn incredibly swiftly, he still is not often successful at catching them. His is just dangerous enough that few venture near. This has attracted Z4GZG, who is particularly susceptible to their variety of harassment, to his territory. 4zaaG is drawn to her, finding the black tea's dark wings make her pink scales seem that much brighter. He doesn't say that about Totalitea, who also has the typical black tea colouring, so it's obvious there's something more between 4zaaG and Z4GZG.
