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.

OmLie is a compulsive lier. She has gotten into a lot of trouble because of her difficulties telling the truth—even in situations where the truth is perfectly fine—and is desperate to break herself of the habit. She often finds herself encouraged to eat her own words. Even a spell intended to force her into truthfulness was subverted by her ability to manipulate partial truths. She has recently taken to meditation in an attempt to change herself, but her contemplative "ommmm"s are often cut off by a random white lie.
