Shallow Water Dragons are found in tropical regions where the water is warm. They use their magic to hunt, using bubbles to capture small fish and animals. Their large, webbed feet make them excellent swimmers and they are able to move at very high speeds. Due to their bright color, these dragons are easily spotted in the lagoons where they live.

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.

Despite his mildly small size for a Shallow Water, Billie Joe is as rebellious and wild as they come. Though he doesn't put up with anyone's problems but his own, many dragons befriend him because of his amity towards those who don't get on his bad side. He's constantly humming as he swims through the water causing many of the surrounding aquatic life to turn their heads and sigh in awe. Though small, his head fins are surprisingly long and elegant, his movements wild yet smooth, his scales shimmer in the brightly lit water, and his eyes shine a lustrous green-blue. Many of the females covet him over any other dragon. Not many are aware that Billie Joe is secretly a backseat member of the clan "Anarchy's Rebels". He fights for them in the waters, protesting against fishing and for the treatment of aquatic life. Also, for some reason, he's not very fond of September.
