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.

Blue Pike is one of two water dragons in her pond; the other is Secret, her chosen mate. The glittery blue dragon found her way into the pond after she was an adult by means of a fierce flood. Upon seeing the male with the scarf around his neck she felt inclined to stay because where else could she find a well dressed male This naturally plead to her vanity, though it quickly drew on her jealousy. Under the feign of polite request she demanded Secrets keeper to bring her something to adorn herself with as well. The keeper returned with a pearl and shell mesh for her tail. She now swims around the pond with fluke above the water to show off her treasure and the end of Secrets scarf in her mouth, dragging him about like a puppy. She's sure he doesn't mind.
