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.

While not the most intelligent of dragons, Zonibax is kind and loyal, almost to a fault.  He has become something of a father-figure of sorts to his little flight's aquatic hatchlings, teaching them important things such as where to catch the best fish, and where the sand is ideal for a bit of beach-lounging. One thing visitors should keep in mind (and that his nest-siblings have learned well): he somewhat resents the term 'flight' as used to describe a group of dragons, restricted as he is to the water. Anyone foolish enough to mention the term near him will catch an earful; he won't hesitate to share his opinion on the matter.
