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.

Semily Thuwed, called Semily, was raised in her early months by the Magi dragon Lord Raj. Raj became a father to her, and she enjoyed listening to the ancient tales he told her. She grieved when Lord Raj took her to the lake nearby to live with the water dragon that lived there, named Ari-Roth. Semily answered the call of the lake and spent the rest of her youth with Ari-Roth while Lord Raj lived in his cave. Semily occasionally returns to her foster father for a visit, but she is a creature of the water and always must return to the lake. Semily is a graceful swimmer and very playful. She is always trying new twists and turns in her watery home. Semily only eats plants, as the fish are her friends. Unlike Ari-Roth, Semily needs to breathe the air every hour, so she must sleep on the surface of the lake and not in the depths with her foster-mother.
