When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

Lingcod lives in a rock formation and has happily held that area for more years than he can count. In a contrast to his self-effacing timidness as a hatchling, he is frighteningly vicious to enemies and prey and eats whatever fits in his cavernous mouth. His partner fits, but she's certain-ish that he wouldn't devour her even if he were hungry. Lingcod is rumored to have very delicious flesh, but the time he could be easily preyed upon has long passed.
