When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

As is the case with many of the great sea dragons, little is known about this dragon, save for the fact that he is malevolent. This is hardly unusual, but what separates this beast from his fellow hostile brethren is the fact that, for him, feeding seems to be secondary to entertainment. Many water dragons sink ships so that they might feast on the sailors, but after crushing a fatal hole into the hull of a ship, this dragon often retreats, watching as if amused as the vessel slowly slips below the water and the members drown one after the other. He only moves to feed if one of the doomed men knows how to swim, in which case he takes great delight in lazily chasing and consuming them at his leisure.
