Tetra Dragons are often found in large groups. They are very social both with their own species and with others. Tetra Dragons are very active and change locations quite frequently. Males defend small parts of territory within the groups but major conflicts rarely occur. Tetra Dragons prefer territory with lots of natural hiding places and can be skittish.

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.

Anm is one of two water-and-disliked-bugs investigators. The title is a mindful, but she doesn't trouble her partner with changing it since he really likes it. During late winter to early fall, she travels around Sum'a Ditch (a bay and its surroundings) to collect mosquitoes and look out for any large breeding grounds for them. If she finds any, she gives each marked area another pass to move some native insects (that prey on mosquitoes) to each area. In places where eggs and nymphs would create an unmanageable swarm, she follows up with magical and chemical treatments to kill them. The water-and-disliked-bugs investigators spend all summer doing this because this species of mosquito feeds on dragon blood and are said to be able to pierce all kinds of scales by finding gaps. In the past, when the mosquitoes have been allowed to thrive, reports of illnesses soon followed. The residents of Sum'a are thankful that they have this two-dragon team to educate them and manage the pests.
