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.

Bellaren, lives in a lake, nearby her owners' cave, there her owner can watch her and the other water dragons living  in the lake. Bellaren and her mate, Glabrio, like to explore the bottom of the lake, were they normally find old fishing rods of sorts and small fish. She is very much of the exploring type, and she wishes to see the world outside the lake, but thats unlikely. Bellaren also likes talking to her friends about what it is like to be in the bottom of the the lake, since they are too frightened to see themselves. When Bellaren is just hanging out or resting, she is near shore, but otherwise she is in the middle of the lake.

As a hatchling, Bellaren lived in a pond, she still liked exploring back then. Even though the pond was calculated to be 7 feet deep, she still loved going down to the bottom, where she found fishing nets, rods and many left behind things.
