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.

Wavecrusher II is a Coastal Waverunner. He loves to swim and play in the sea where he dives and flies out again. His mother is a beautiful Swallowtail, and he has a sister. He can breathe underwater and is good at catching fish, though he also likes to eat land prey (which he isn't able to catch). So, he often flies over the prairie to meet his friend Pegasus II and exchanges food with him.

Sometimes he swims to deeper oceans where he meets his mate, Shineflipper. He has never been to her cave; Deep sea Dragons aren't very friendly to intruders. They have a daughter; she lives with him in the BeachClan cave and just laid an egg. He is very proud that he's already a grandpa!
