Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

Mysterious Eel was named after his mysterious behavior, and eel-like appearance. He spends most of his time at the bottom of the ocean, and rarely visits his master's call. His family worries about him, being alone in the darkness. There are rumors about him, some stressful to his family. There is one rumor that the family hopes is true: Mysterious Eel found a pod of other sea living dragons, and lives a happy life traveling the oceans with them.
