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.

DarkWaterWalkerGem is a very devoted Water Walker Dragon. He and his mate, SilentWaterWalkerJoy, are a young couple with the blessing of their whole tribe, the StillWater Clan. They were fated to be together, their destiny was to be the chosen couple of their clan. They were told they would bring good luck and good hunting to the tribe. They are the parents of the golden child. DarkWaterWalkerGem is very proud of himself, though it wasn't really his doing that made him so famous in his tribe. He was just born into fame. DarkWaterWalkerGem is sort of rude, because he believes he is better than everyone else.
