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. 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.

Sand Scale has a dream of someday building the biggest sand castle in the world. He often visits the beach, soaring high overhead to scout out all the beautiful sculptures made out of the sand. However, Sand Scale's sand castles always end up looking like one big lump. His long wings do not lend well to sculpting, and while he can fly longer than most, he cannot build delicate figures in the sand. That doesn't mean Sandscales won't stop trying!
