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.

DeepSeaSong is a Deep Sea Dragon who is always humming to herself. She doesn't have a very good mental singing voice, and is self-conscious when she tries to sing. But she loves music, and doesn't get to mentally hear much deep underwater. So DeepSeaSong just hums the songs to herself. This drives other Deep Sea Dragons crazy, because they hear the mental hum and then the tune gets stuck in their heads.
