Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

Having spent nearly her entire life since she matured in the deepest parts of the ocean, Amariel is very timid and reserved, shying away from the company of other dragons on the rare occasion that any even come near. She rarely breaches the ocean's surface and vastly prefers life in the dim depths of water she thinks of as home. Life-mate of the intimidating Unotime, Amariel alone can find joy in his icy company, and together they explore the ocean's darkest places; places long unseen by any eyes but their own.
