Shallow Water Dragons are found in tropical regions where the water is warm. They use their magic to hunt, using bubbles to capture small fish and animals. Their large, webbed feet make them excellent swimmers and they are able to move at very high speeds. Due to their bright color, these dragons are easily spotted in the lagoons where they live.

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.

Anden is a very unique dragon. Unique, of course, doesn't really cover the entirety of his condition. When Anden was just an egg, he was left alone in a beautiful lagoon with no one to care for him. It was only luck that a human had been exploring near the lagoon and managed to find the lone egg. She took care of him and raised him into an adult. Unfortunately because the lagoon was so far from her other dragons, she couldn't visit him very often.

His owner felt bad that he was alone, but the funny thing was that Anden didn't consider himself alone. Due to the fact there wasn't any dragons to compare himself to, Anden soon decided that he somewhat resembled the fish that swam into the lagoon. Eventually he started swimming with them. They were scared at first, but some of the larger ones began accepting his presence.

Anden's owner would come by and try to explain to him that he was a dragon, not a fish, but he never listened and would just make some bubbles and swim away.
