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.

Skimming the top of the ocean waters for fish, BreakingTide uses his wings to slap the fishes out of the water. Once they are in midair, he would clamp down on them with his strong jaws, breaking their spine so they won't try to escape. His diet of fish has given him his moist skin which keeps the heat in like what fur does to a mammal. Once in a while, he'll discover a treat of sea cucumbers. He'd bring it to his mate, BreakingWave, as a token of his love. And they'd share the delicious treat with the music of the crashing waves in the distance. A carefree Coastal Waverunner, BreakingTide does not care for battle, but when challenged or provoked, he will put up a dangerous fight.
