Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Andy Indy, as he is called in the cave, likes eating seaweed for no particular reason, leaving Miss Water Horse, a regular water dragon, to believe that he is crazy. Andy has fallen head-over-tail for her, though, and does everything he can for her, from buying tickets to Blueberry Jell-o the water-horse dragon's dance concerts, to buying her pet fish. Several dragons say Andy HAS gone crazy... but crazy over Miss W H, not chowing seaweed. (Though that IS pretty gross...)
