*May occasionally be sighted on streams, rivers, and bays where the water is flowing less quickly.
*An important indicator of water quality and ecosystem health.
*Does not tolerate polution, especially as to not damage the membranes.of its feet, eyes, and sails.
*Salt irritates their membranes as well, so rarely found in brackish or salt water.
|
| anatomy | - *Capable of rapid bursts of speed using powerful legs and potentially magic.
*Body coloration provides quality camoflage from predatory dragons, crocodilians, and humans.
*Wings have evolved into small sails, allowing them to traverse the water effortlessly.
*Long, powerful tail may aid in steering.
*Very bouyant owing to various morphological adaptations, although they may take action to submerge if necessary.
*Strong, powerful swimmers underwater. May hold breath for up to an hour.
*Makes deep, low-frequency noises by forcing air through its crest.
*Blue eyes coated with same hydrophobic membrane on feet and sail, protecting it from irritation, infection, and allowing them to see underwater.

*Fun loving and curious.
*Very active as hatchlings, zipping around everywhere with ease.
