Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

The Deep Sea Dragon Kiander was born in the deep depths of the Ocean. Now he patrols them, endlessly swimming back and forth harvesting the seas for food rarely leaving the sea bed for more than a few hours. The one time he ventured up towards the surface he encountered a human ship far out to sea and was badly wounded after the prow cut deep into his flank. Ever since that day he has not forgotten what happened and now stays hidden deep beneath the great oceans waves.
