Egg
"This egg seems to be floating on a puddle."

Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads."

Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads. And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! It must be close to maturing."

Adult
"Water walkers are small dragons that are frequently found around bogs and ponds. While they are flightless, they retain the flight sacs and hollow bones of their airborne cousins. These traits, coupled with their extraordinarily long, webbed toes, allow them to stand on top of calm waters, using their small sails to propel them wherever they please. They spend the majority of their lives on the water, retreating to the tops of lily pads when the waters become too rough to float atop."

Unofficial Description
Physical Description:

Waterwalker's vary in size from about 3m long to 4.9m at most and are about 2.3m tall, with their long legs (without wings). They have a short tail, and smooth, blue-turquoise, waterproof skin. Their modified wings that play the role of "sails", allow them to almost winsurf in the sea. The long webbed feet can form a good base to skid along the water, but on non-windy days, they cannot go out to sea. They are extrememly light at about 40 kilograms. The myth that they can litterally "walk on water" is wrong. If they are not in motion, then they will sink. This happens a lot but they are very good swimmers and can leap out of the water, back into the air. They can't really walk on average sized lillypads but some on their natif island can support their weight. As hatchling, they stay near calm rives and lakes near the sea but eventually go to hunt in the ocean. They are very good fishermen, and can catch fish swimming near the surface with ease. Being more aquatic dragons, they cannot breathe fire. They are very aerodynamic and streamline aswell. Their teeth are their main hunting tool.

Personality:

Waterwalkers tend to be quite friendly and can developp a strong empathetic link with an owner or another of it's own species. They are not very violent and can become quite affectionate. Their intelligence is also remarkable. Aswell as being sociable, they can be quite solitary too if left alone. The mother will take care of her hatchlings until maturation when they will still stay in touch.
