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.

If one more traveler calls him a "pretty pony" again, Maraitha will need to buy a plot of land to bury the foolish wretches. Trotsworth prefers his self-given nickname, "The Devil's Steed." Of course, none of his fellow dragons will call him that, but he still tries. He wishes with all his heart that he could be a much more fearsome dragon, like a vampire or a red dragon, and as a hatchling would even make potions of mud, slime and moss to transform him. None of them worked of course, so he must live as a horse look-alike for the rest of his life. It doesn't bother him that much anymore, unless a traveler mistakes him for a pony or a unicorn or pegasus tries to flirt with him. There was also once an issue with some unicorn poachers in the past, but that was quickly resolved...with teeth.
