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.

Luina and her life-mate Hinfuron are often seen diving from the rocky sea-cliffs into the perilous water below, skillfully catching a plentiful harvest of fish and other sea creatures within their powerful jaws for their cave-mates to enjoy. Luina's experience as a long time fisher-dragon and her natural affinity for the ocean's waves makes her the ultimate predator to the schools swimming beneath the water's surface.
