Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

Hywater heard of a great tournament where a group of duotones had a cook-off with various arbitrary ingredients and wanted to participate, but he was at the distinct disadvantage of not being a duotone. So he decided to do his own version, and his older sister agreed to help, but only if she could record the event for the Blusang Broadcasting Coalition. Thus, the Great Blusang Bake-off began. Hywater tracked down good chefs to serve as judges and amateur chefs to compete against, while Legwyrm organised the magical vision orbs that would connect the sights and sounds with scrying pools and magic mirrors of anyone who wanted to watch. Hywater was knocked out in the second round for an under-baked mackerel pudding, but his program has proven popular, especially among species whose diets consist of more baked goods than the average blusang's. He has organised a tournament for the Blusang Broadcasting Coalition every year since.
