Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

One can sometimes find Zooid swimming under the surface, not hunting but observing tiny creatures. The ones he's interested in are minuscule things that join together to form a larger thing, working together like a single animal. To the land and air dragons, he likens these animals to ants who form clumps to cross water or build bridges, except these are always in a clump, and the clump doesn't look like a bunch of creatures but a single creature. The "purple balloon" with a paralyzing sting sometimes found washed ashore is not a jellyfish but an example of such a colony. Zooid doesn't know if there's a common name for these kinds of creatures, but having no name doesn't make them any less interesting. He watches them for no reason other than for enjoyment, and sating his curiosity by observing them is worth withstanding the crushing pressure of the deep ocean, and, when he's careless, their painful stings.
