Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Hiquela, Tendrana, and Avezza have formed a group of females that haven't found mates. Unlike the others, though, Hiquela has tried to mate once with The Phenomenon of Abyss. The two didn't like each other much, and they pretend it never happened. Hiquela spends most of her time teaching the hatchlings how to hunt and swim. She is caring and wise, creating stories to better explain the world. She often wishes for a mate, but has not yet found one.
