Black Capped Teimarr are a small and sociable breed of dragon with an appetite for seafood. They can commonly be seen flitting around sand dunes and tidal marshes, searching for crabs and other aquatic invertebrates, or cavorting in tidal pools in hopes of finding landlocked fish. Because of their large wing-to-body size, they are excellent long distance fliers and are known to migrate hundreds of miles along coastlines, or even across open sea to outlying islands in search of seasonal delicacies such as bird eggs, fledglings and schooling bait fish. The males are easily distinguished by their large jousting horns and their extendable neck frill, which they show off to the females through enthusiastic head bobbing.

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.

If there's one thing Shack likes more than sea food, it's gold. And if there's one thing humans like more than gold, it's sea food! There was, of course, only one reasonable outcome regarding this revelation, and Shack took it and ran with it. Creating his own "Seasalt Shack" and offering up fresh tasty fish, crabs, and other delicacies daily, he's earned whopping piles of gold in part due to a brilliant location strategy; his diner is located not on the shore, but many miles inland, his strong wings allowing him to traverse the distance with ease. The downside, of course, is that this leaves his beloved treasure hoard unprotected during his runs for fresh produce, while always makes him nervous and twitchy!
