Coastal Waverunners spend most of their time skimming the waves along the coast, snatching up their prey from the shallow waters. They have developed markings along the leading edges of their body that help disguise them as breaking waves. When they are not hunting, they enjoy playing among sand-dunes and shallow tide-pools. These dragons live in small but noisy rookeries. Some stories say Waverunners can fly for days on end without landing.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever.

In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Sandy Shoes gets her name from how often she comes home after hunting, training, exploring, or anything like that with her feet engulfed in a sandy mess.
