Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

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.

Seahavoc's name explains it all. He enjoys swooping up in the clouds, and refuses to come down until midnight. He is mischievous, and likes disturbing other people at the dead of night. He then tends to sleep until midday. He will steal other dragon's food, wake them up, bother them and be a general nuisance. He is very popular with the misfit pygmies, but with other dragons he is usually greeted by growls and threatening snaps. His main target is Rivergallop- when he finds fish to chase, Seahavoc will swoop down and fluster the fish so poor Rivergallop can't find them. Despite this, he has still successfully mated, and is determined to do it more.
