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.

A proud dragon of a long line of dragons Swim God (such is the nearest translation from Latvian of his name) spends most of his days in an underground lake that can be reached by an in-cave small stream from the cave he was brought up in. Of all female dragons in the cave he prefers the company of one called Dieviete Drosme for she is of exceptional strength and can provide him with water in the shield at the end of her tail when she wants him close. He enjoys the silent and calm coolness of the water and the warm and admiring wander by Dieviete Drosme at the secret that is he himself.
