Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

Kitanai Mizutamari's name roughly translates to "dirty puddle."  Mizu's domain overlaps that of the serpentine dragons of the lakes, though as a smaller dragon he more frequently occupies the smaller pond offshoots.  He is somewhat shy, using his natural camoflage to hide from the humans who share his territory.  Mizu mostly avoids the other dragons, knowing himself outmatched physically and not always trusting in the others not to challenge him.  On those nights when the other water dwellers are celebrating some thing or another, he has been seen hanging on the fringes, perhaps attempting to mentally overcome his fear.
