Found only in the deep ocean, Lotaan Dragons are patient and tenacious hunters. They will track their prey for days on end, waiting for the perfect opportunity to surge forward and impale their quarry on the stiff spikes of their tail. Their dark, muted scales help hide their presence in the murky waters, and often the only visible identifier is the faint reddish glow of the mana crystals that line their belly. These crystals grow dimmer the longer they hunt and brighten again after a successful kill. Though solitary by nature, Lotaan are fiercely loyal to their mates and will always return to the place where they first met during breeding season. Together they tend to their eggs and young hatchlings, parting only once the hatchlings are old enough to hunt on their own.

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.

Flounder is a seriously intimidating figure. He is an extremely dedicated hunter and a certified expert in the craft. Among other Lotaan, his skills are very impressive. In addition to these killer instincts, Flounder builds this threatening persona by remaining stern and silent at all times. Even in casual settings, he keeps that stoic, emotionless gaze and engages with no one. Well, almost no one. For such a terrifying beast, it's surprising Flounder would choose such an opposing mate. Shell is a peppy, prissy, and all around cutesy Tercorn who fawns over him constantly. It's unknown exactly how they met, why they mated, and how they actually stay together given just how different they are. It has confused the dragons of their respective communities for as long as they've been a couple, which has been quite a while. What is known is that Flounder will do just about anything for Shell. He brings her gifts of seashells and colorful coral from his travels and defends her with his life.
