Seaglass dragon turtle hatchlings suffer each other's company mostly to bicker and fight, though less constantly than their more common cousins do. Magi familiar with both types think this is mainly because they are lazier in general, and because it takes more of their stored energy to move about in their preferred way of surfing on generated waves. Magi must keep a careful eye on their hatchling for the first day or two, to make sure it does not attack any creature that can't defend itself, but soon after, the hatchling will generally fight its own kind. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to seaglass dragon turtle fights, beyond that they seem to enjoy inflicting violence upon something that will retaliate in kind and not fall apart.
Seaglass dragon turtles derive power from heat, like their common cousins. However, they store considerably less of it, preferring to convert that power into waves which they then surf upon to go anywhere, and in fact refusing to swim under their own power unless in a dire emergency. Abyssal seaglass dragon turtles prefer getting their heat from deep sea vents, and seek out places where the earth bleeds fire into the ocean. Abyssal seaglass dragon turtles may have the option of being relatively stationary, unlike solar ones, but they seem to abhor staying still, and swim along the vents wherever they lead. Aspiring magi researchers who track their abyssal seaglass dragon turtle companions have mapped sections of the seafloor this way, and discovered that many deep sea vents are in fact connected to each other. In general, though, much less is known about the habits of the abyssal variety of seaglass dragon turtle due to their preference for inhospitable depths.
