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.

'Just keep running, don't look back.'

These were the words racing through Equinus' head as she fled the scene where her herd was under attack. With multiple large dragons, each over three times the size of a Horse, she could not take the risk of staying with the herd. Instead she ran as far as she could, before eventually collapsing in the desert some hours later.

Shaken and still terrified, Equinus came around sometime in the night under the careful eye of Opulentus. Suffering only from dehydration, exhaustion and shock, Equinus made a full recovery, but didn't dare to head back home for fear of more attacks. Yet at the same time she longed to, to try and find her mother. If her mother was even still alive, she probably wouldn't know that Equinus had escaped, alive and safe many miles away. All forms of contact have so far failed to gain any response and Equinus fears for her herd's well being. Despite the constant worrying, she is otherwise happy living with the Herachus.
