When Water Dragons mature, they lose the ability to survive on land, entering the water permanently. They are adept swimmers and eat whatever fish are in the lake they live in. They tend to inhabit the same lake for their entire lives, although a few live in the ocean and swim all over the world.

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.

The clan is not certain where this beautiful dragon came from. One day they heard a hauntingly sad and beautiful song coming from the lagoon near their cave in Puglia. So sad was the song, that the clan leader, Padrone was moved to tears. Lacrimosa will not talk to any of the other dragons, but Sorataka often flies over her dropping food or freshly caught fish to her. Her name means "weeping" in Latin, and she sings for the clan each day. Sometimes her songs are lonely requiems of lost love or the haunted songs of battles lost. But always she sings.
