Found only in the deep ocean, Lotaan Dragons are patient and tenacious hunters. They will track their prey for days on end, waiting for the perfect opportunity to surge forward and impale their quarry on the stiff spikes of their tail. Their dark, muted scales help hide their presence in the murky waters, and often the only visible identifier is the faint reddish glow of the mana crystals that line their belly. These crystals grow dimmer the longer they hunt and brighten again after a successful kill. Though solitary by nature, Lotaan are fiercely loyal to their mates and will always return to the place where they first met during breeding season. Together they tend to their eggs and young hatchlings, parting only once the hatchlings are old enough to hunt on their own.

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.

Perch is especially shy for a Lotaan. He dwells deep in the depths of the ocean, acting more like a Deep Sea than anything. He'll only ever go out of his way to hunt large prey when he needs to. Otherwise, he snacks on deep sea fish to avoid making his mana crystals glow brighter than a dull red. As mentioned, Perch is incredibly shy, possibly in contrast to his much more wild and aggressive sister, Vast. Perch tends to avoid others and take refuge in the darkest parts of the sea. When threatened, however, Perch is more than capable of defending himself. He wields his tail spines like spears, typically rushing and impaling the enemy in quick formation. Because of how much Perch hates interaction and especially fighting, he will opt to take out foes as quickly as possible. He can actually be pretty dangerous. Even the edgy, confident Vast admits she's only ever engaged in a fight with him once, a fight she lost.
