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.

Phud is a playful dragon. Like many Coastal Waverunners, he love to play along the waves as they roll in on the beach. He also likes to tease the water dragons by bopping them on the head and then skittering away before they can grab him. He spends most of his time by the sea and rarely visits the cave where he was raised. He loves the ocean air and prefers to hide in little secret caves hidden in the rocks when he needs shelter from the elements or to hide from other, more dangerous, dragons.
