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.

Waka had grown up neighboring a Shallow Water dragon by the name of Mo'o. Their parents were quite close so the two of them got along and became almost like brothers. Strangely enough they have opposite personalities that just seem to click well with their long history together. Waka is always so welcoming, care-free, and gives the benefit of the doubt while Mo'o would keep his distance, take precautions, and assumes the worst out of everything. Though somehow Mo'o tolerates Waka while anyone else would irritate him. Mo'o tries his best to look out for Waka though he just winds up following Waka into whatever shenanigans he gets into. Little did Mo'o know, Waka would jump at the opportunity to befriend the new shark taming dragon named Kauhuhu and even become his guardians throughout the rest of their lives once it rises. The three of them together becomes great and took part in a nearly forgotten legend in aiding a man in vengeance against a chief who killed his two sons.
