Deep Sea Dragons, as their name suggests, spend most of their time in the darkest depths of the sea. They have a bioluminescent dorsal spine that serves to attract prey and communicate with their own kind. As with many deep sea animals, they generally eat whatever they can manage to bait. They rarely leave the ocean floor, surfacing only during breeding season. When they do choose to travel to the shallower depths, they avoid bright lights and will only come up far away from shore.

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.

Sirith, firstborn of Behros, is a stalwart protector of the seas. Unlike his clanmates, he is not territorial and only strikes back, if the need arises. His way of life is pacifism and finding "the Golden Road between the other dragons". He likes to philosophize about the nature of other dragons he knows, Guardian dragons in particular. He is mostly serious, but is friendly and calm when talked to, especially when the other half does not distinguish dragon races from one another.
