Horse Dragons have equine-shaped bodies and hooves instead of claws, which allow them to be fast runners. They specialize in running takeoffs, which are quicker than taking off from a stand-still. Horse dragons are able to stalk their prey from the ground then quickly execute an aerial attack for the kill.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Gimmick is an excellent hunter. He has both the patience and the skill to bring down the largest prey. He also has the leadership skills and tactical ability to organize a group of hunters. For these reasons, Gimmick is the dragon in charge of hunting for the Cave. The leader of the Cave has suggested that Gimmick might also be a fantastic warleader, if he wanted the position. Gimmick has always refused. To him, killing for the sake of killing is wrong and war is the greatest of all evils.
