Blue-Banded Dragons are found primarily in mountainous regions with lots of precipitation. Although terrestrial, they are most often sighted near running water and feed mostly on fish. Females are very social and form tight-knit family groups, while males are strictly solitary and will fight any other dragons that enter their territory outside of breeding season. For this reason, females tend to drive males away when they are not ready to mate, or when they are caring for hatchlings. The amount of striping varies greatly from individual to individual, with some dragons having only faint dark streaks on their sides and others appearing to be almost entirely dark blue with paler markings.

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.

Puddle Leap is a social, caring Blue-Banded dragon with a deep care for hatchlings, even if they are not her own. She can be seen keeping an eye on the eggs she and the other dragons share a space with, using her striped tail to play with the hatchlings. Since she does not have eggs of her own, it is not strange to her that she cares for eggs that are not her own. She sees it at practice, and for this she is very kind. Like other females of her breed, Puddle Leap forms very close family relationships, and finds it hard to let go of anyone she's formed a bond with. Puddle Leap can sometimes even be seen showing her generous side, sharing a chunk of food with the hatchlings around every now and again. Puddle Leap also enjoys water and swooping up fish in her jaws, wolfing them down after she catches them or bringing them back to the cave nearby. She can also be seen standing in shallow water, still as a stone as she awaits to snap up any fish not clever enough to avoid her towering form.
