Blusang Lindwyrms are quite different from most dragons in that they lack hind legs. In this regard, they resemble snakes, and this is evident in their movement; these lindwyrms slither along the ground, using their forelegs to lift them over rougher terrain. Blusangs are a coastal breed, preferring to live along rocky beaches and in seaside caves rather than sandy locations. They are omnivores who graze on seaweed from time to time, although their primary form of sustenance is fish.

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.

Over many years, Hydro Vortex has looked at many different places where there's water: underground water tables, oceans and large lakes, and flowing water, though she mostly stays at or near the coast where she was born and raised to study a variety of watery concepts as well as the creatures that inhabit the area. Every year or so, she finds something new to focus on, and in the past, she has looked at and tried to teach others about tarns, drawdown, polynyas, narwhals, muskeg, alewives, and many more topics. While most people Hydro Vortex knows scoff at spending one's life studying "unimportant" things so meticulously, she finds it all very interesting and knows that there is importance in learning about wildlife and water quality.
