When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

El Nadaha was named before his gender was known, meaning he's permanently saddled with the moniker of a FEMALE water-bogey. He's not happy (the other water dragons snicker behind his back), and that makes him somewhat cranky. Nevertheless, he bears up.<br/>Currently, El Nadaha lives at the bottom of a shallow saltwater gully. He spends his spare time shining his scales, biting the feet off swimmers, and intimidating anybody who dares to cause his nestmate Anaesthetik trouble.
