Water Walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop.

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.

DaringWaterWalker is a Water Walker Dragon with a sense of adventure much larger than he is. He has declared himself an Explorer, despite the fact that he has never been out of the large bog and adjacent pond in which he lives. He has been trying to find some "amazing discovery" somewhere in that familiar location for many years; without a single finding. But he is dauntless, and says he will keep "Exploring" until he has found something incredible.
