Shallow Water Dragons are found in tropical regions where the water is warm. They use their magic to hunt, using bubbles to capture small fish and animals. Their large, webbed feet make them excellent swimmers and they are able to move at very high speeds. Due to their bright color, these dragons are easily spotted in the lagoons where they live.

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.

While Shawazu has eaten plenty of fish in her lifetime, sometimes she just appreciates the company that a school of fish swimming nearby can bring. Over the years, Shawazu has perfected her magic bubble generation technique to the point where she is able to keep a small fish comfortable inside a bubble even while she carries it to another place. These bubbles last for several minutes before they pop, which is just enough time for Shawazu to bring a few small fish back to her lagoon after she's been hunting in the nearby tropical sea.  Whenever she notices that certain populations are dwindling in numbers, Shawazu will bring several fish to raise away from predators in her lagoon. Usually the fish leave the lagoon after they've grown, but Shawazu is always pleased if one or two happen to find their way back. She's made a promise to herself to never eat a fish that willingly swims into her lagoon of its own accord, since she would be rather sad if she didn't get visitors anymore.
