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.

Mindful Education is probably the serenest coastal waverunner residing in or around Uniform Coast. He encourages others to express their emotions openly and be honest with themselves (which a talonful of dragons find rather annoying because he makes it look easy). He also tells his peers to think about their actions and feelings at that very moment, perhaps during a period of boredom or dull routine if they can't find time in the day, believing this sort of thinking to be good for one's health. He had an unpleasantly eventful childhood, as the offspring of two dragons who were opposites in nearly everything, so ever since he was an adolescent, he would seek and study ways to cope with his emotions.
