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.

Barabrakas is barely considered a member of the flock. To summon her from the depths of the ocean trench where she dwells, one either has to throw a large, bloody carcass into the water over the trench and wait a few hours for it to hopefully sink down to where Barabrakas normally resides, or stick one's head into the water and attempt to roar at the top of their lungs. As such, most of the dragons find it too difficult to get a word with her to even bother, and simply wait for her occasional trips to the surface to keep her informed. At any rate, Barabrakas is a dragon with a very unique perspective on life and her thought patterns are often incomprehensible to land-dwellers.
