Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Enaume has never left Tender Talon's house. He instead lives on an artificial indoor pond and is pampered with a steady supply of food. This tends to make him too plump to stand on top of the water if he feels particularly greedy. His toes are a little shorter and have a bit less webbing than that of most Water walkers. This makes it a little difficult to stand on water and move quickly, but it makes it easier to walk on the floor when he gets too plump to stand on water.
