This drab egg rests far from the water’s edge.
這顆藍灰色的蛋離水邊有一段距離。

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. This dull-colored hatchling enjoys playing in shallow tidepools, but it is too weak to swim for long.

噢……是個可愛龍寶寶呢。這頭身體顏色黯淡的幼龍喜歡在淺潮塘玩耍，但因為身體虛弱，游不了太久。

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. This dull-colored hatchling enjoys playing in shallow tidepools, but it is too weak to swim for long. Its newly developed fins allow it to swim for longer periods, and its skin has also become more vibrant. Perhaps something is happening?

噢……是個可愛龍寶寶呢。這頭身體顏色黯淡的幼龍喜歡在淺潮塘玩耍，但因為身體虛弱，游不了太久。牠因為有新長出的龍鰭而能游得更久，身體色調也變得明亮了些。似乎有什麼要發生了？

Aqualis Dragons inhabit the shallow seas of Valkemare, preferring to make their homes in coral reefs. Due to their need to return to the surface to breathe, they avoid deep water unless absolutely necessary. Although they are quite drab when first hatched, prolonged contact with salt water causes their skin to become bright and iridescent. This vibrancy, when combined with quick movements, confuses the fish these dragons prey upon. Nomadic males travel the length of Valkemare’s reefs in bachelor groups, while females tend to claim a specific area as their own. A group of males will herd a school of fish into a female’s territory, and if she is seeking a mate, she will join the hunt. Once she has eaten her fill, she will choose the most skilled hunter to be her mate."

水利司龍生活在沃克麥爾的淺海處，喜歡在珊瑚礁築巢，也因為必須回到水面換氣，所以牠們非必要不會待在深水區。儘管剛出生時身體灰不溜丟的，長期接觸的鹽水導致其膚色變亮、散發虹光。這種色光在水利司龍的快速游動下，能使牠們要捕獵的魚混亂。單身的公龍會沿著沃克麥爾的礁石旅行，母龍則往往待在固定的私人領域。公水利司龍龍會成群結隊地進入母龍的領地，如果母龍正在找尋伴侶，那麼牠也會加入狩獵的行列；一但牠捕食足夠的量，那麼牠就會挑選團內獵捕技巧最佳的公龍當自己的伴侶。

※ 以下是一些關於水利司龍的額外資訊：
水利司龍的鱗片能反射日光（牠們在水面附近捕獵），產生令人炫目的光輝。公龍是魚群殺手，擅長利用團隊合作將魚群趕入彼此飢腸轆轆的腸胃中。母龍會在求愛時期加入這個行列，但基本上還是各自行動。獨自獵捕時，母龍會有技巧地甩動自己的長尾當誘餌使用，一但有魚被吸引過來，母龍就會從後方湊上來吃掉。

水利司龍並不是多麼強大或巨型的生物。在我（設計者）的想像中，不算上尾巴的情況下，牠們就大概就只比薄荷龍體型大些。若是受到驚嚇，牠們會逃到淺水處，有必要甚至會上岸。牠們在岸上行動並不靈活，甚至太陽一下子就能把牠們曬乾，所以牠們最終還是得回到水裡。
