Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

A member of the Fantomasy Guild, a small group of role playing dragons. Rishre is an old friend of the guild's leader and usual game master, Fantomasis. Because of this, if Fantomasis is too busy or sick of playing game master, Rishre is always the first to take over. In contrast to Fantomasis's kind, respectful nature towards the role playing dragons, Rishre is quite a bit more stern and cruel. He is almost always the cause of "accidental" injuries in the guild, dropping rocks on the dragons steering the role play too far off of his planned course. When he isn't the game master, his character is usually a lazy, weak, and deceptive Magma dragon. Rishre never lets his mind wander from the role playing, using his free time to generate evil schemes for the next time he gets a turn as game master.
