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.

Distant Coast (Also called "Coast") enjoys sticking her wings in the sand and resting in shallow water. She loves to see Radiation X time to time, or anyone for that matter. The only dragon who comes normally is Queen OceanTail, but she'd like to talk to someone else for once. She cares for the hatchling Coastal Waverunners, and is very playful around them. When they fall asleep, it's just about the only time she can relax from a hard day of keeping eggs safe and playing with the hatchlings.
