Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Windsplash II loves to play in the waves. He lives in a cave on a cliff, where the BeachClan camp is located. His rank is a hunter, and every day he flies to the ocean to fish. In his free time (or when he is supposed to hunt, but nobody is watching) he surfs on the waves.

His father is the skywing Thunderstorm II, his mother is Seadiver II, the clan deputy. His aunt Sandstorm III hatched the same day as Windsplash.
