The Waterfall dragon is one of the more common water-element dragons, probably because of its wide range of habitats.
Like most dragons, Waterfall dragons mate for life. To find a partner, male dragons gather and fight each other. The females pick which one they want to breed with, based on strength. Once a partner is found, they stay together until one or both die. They have about 3-5 eggs each spring, which are laid on land. Unlike most dragons though, the parents don't stay together to watch their chicks grow up. Instead, once the eggs hatch, the father raises the males and the mother raises the females. The chicks stay with their parent until they are juveniles, roughly a year or two. Then, the parent leaves them to fend for themselves, but will still protect them if they get into a situation.
Waterfall dragons are known for their tails. They have a very powerful, long tail that powers them through water. This can also be used as a weapon, to knock back enemies.
Waterfall dragons' "breath weapon" (should be called elemental ability, but that would give the wrong impression) is known as one of the weakest in the water-element class. Instead of being a torrent, like the others of this element, it's a weak stream which does absolutely nothing but make their enemies wet.
To hunt, Waterfall dragons use their claws and teeth, while chasing after fish underwater. They hunt alone, and don't share their kills with anyone, except their chicks and/or mate.
Waterfall dragons don't care about other dragon species, but they can't stand Aquatic hydras. This is because the two species are usually battling over territory and food. The fights that break out between these two species are usually either long and loud, or short and bloody. Both sides end up badly injured. The winner is never clearly defined, since both come back to the same spot later.
Waterfall dragons aren't too fond of humans, but don't mind them as long as the humans leave them alone. They have never been ridden or tamed.
If you see a Waterfall dragon, assume that it's seen you and walk away slowly. Don't try to get close or bug it in any way. If you are feeling adventurous, try your luck with another dragon, not one who'll send you flying with a flick of its tail.
