On sunny days when the sea is clear and sparkling, coastal villages are often treated to a spectacular sight. While normally shy, Tideweaver Lindwyrms are emboldened by fair weather, and when one starts to dance, the rest soon follow. However, their intricate fins and complex dances are more than just a dazzling show. Tideweavers rely on slight changes in their movements and fin positions to communicate with others of their kind. This communication is key; the lindwyrms are almost always found traveling within tightly bonded family groups. To show affection, they have been known to gently hold one another with their small front legs.

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.

Finn is, as all of his breed are, sociable. His mate Broken Promises is the one dragon he spends the most time with, but when he's not spending time with her, then he's helping Cheeky Thing with his plots to annoy people. Finn knows that he is regarded as a special dragon, as he has quite a pedigree to live up to. But there is one dragon that he envies, and that is Turpenception. Most dragons in the area are judged by their family tree and type, and Turpenception has a pedigree a mile long. This is what Finn regards as something to be envious of, as it means that he is judged as a mere second compared to some turpentine dragon.
