Undine Dragons are named for the water spirits with which they share territory. They have close relationships with these spirits, and are able to communicate with them. In exchange for protection and respect of their mutual freshwater homes, laid eggs are often protected by a blessing. This blessing stays with the dragon into adulthood, and with it they gain potent magical abilities. Sometimes when an Undine Dragon becomes very upset, the ground at their feet may frost over or begin to steam. They have also been observed to manipulate water directly, rerouting raindrops or creating puddles from groundwater. Undine Dragons always live near forest pools, streams, or waterfalls. Both genders take equal part in the raising of young and are very good parents—though they may not remain mated after the offspring are grown.

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.

If one wanders through the bright forest of Laysha's territory, they might stumble across a pile of rocks artfully stacked in the middle of a stream or pond, perfectly balanced in a way that seems perfectly impossible. Laysha will spend hours crouching over a chosen spot, carefully arranging the stones so that they balance on their edges as though they might fall over. When she is finished with a sculpture, she gently splashes it with water to give it the impression that it has been there naturally for decades, and then leaves it -- a piece of art in the middle of the wilderness. Only she doesn't consider them art. She does it simply because the challenge relaxes her, and fills her with a strange pride when a sculpture that should logically collapse, is still standing months later. Several pieces in highly-traveled areas have drawn crowds, and though it makes her smile, she never reveals herself... except when she knocks them over. Watching a creation fall is almost more satisfying.
