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.

Omoikane is a very intelligent dragon. Unlike most of his kind, he doesn't live in a tight-knit clan, being a bit of an outcast due to his constant experiments with medicinal herbs. He's as skilled of a healer as most of the White dragons he knows despite lacking their innate talent for healing magic, and he can craft medicines to cure almost anything. He is very protective of his mate, Kaguya, and they live together in a cliff cavern high above the water.
