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.

Chivas is 1 of the 2 favorite Horse Dragons of Nadezhda. Named after the first horse she learned to ride on, he even has a similar personality. He is one of the more gentle and kind Dragons around, and listens to Nadezhda at will. He's very pleasant to ride, with easy gaits. He's friendly to most other Dragons, and only shows aggression when he's attacked. He often helps saves the peace between Nadezhda's trouble-making Dragons.

He's also the first Horse Dragon Nadezhda got a bridle on.

Chivas is missing his right eye; He lost it in a fight with an other Dragon.

Chivas's legs, muzzle, tail and wings are slightly darker purple then his body.

His gentle nature is why Nadezhda often uses him in her breeding projects.
