Undine Dragons are named for the water spirits with which they share territory. They have close relationships with these spirits, and are able to communicate with them. In exchange for protection and respect of their mutual freshwater homes, laid eggs are often protected by a blessing. This blessing stays with the dragon into adulthood, and with it they gain potent magical abilities. Sometimes when an Undine Dragon becomes very upset, the ground at their feet may frost over or begin to steam. They have also been observed to manipulate water directly, rerouting raindrops or creating puddles from groundwater. Undine Dragons always live near forest pools, streams, or waterfalls. Both genders take equal part in the raising of young and are very good parents—though they may not remain mated after the offspring are grown.

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.

Ulirade gets an unbearable amount of praise for his unique appearance, though he would much rather the compliments be about his skillful water manipulation abilities. Most days he must leave his den just to find a quiet place to be where he can practice his magic, but some days even the silence gets old. Recently, Ulirade has been introduced to Sihgno (a female Astrapi Xenowyrm), another favorite of their clan's, and both seem to have become strong friends as a result. Now, Sihgno accompanies Ulirade when he needs a getaway from the clan's prying eyes, and even practices her own abilities alongside him (sometimes in the form of friendly competitions). Ulirade enjoys the company from someone that understands how he feels when constantly being pressured to maintain his look and status in the clan.
