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.

TJ thinks that he is the coolest, awesomest, and most important dragon there is in the great lakes (which is why he named himself after some weird, mysterious old deity). He acts as if others' opinions are not important, does only what he wants, and tries to order everyone around. He expects to be treated with respect and love and high regard in return.

The other dragons in the lake shake their heads at his behaviour, clearly he has no idea how a real leader should behave and only does dishonour to the name of the original deity who many of them still remember with fond respect.
