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.

Bloodstone was named for his preference to the mineral above all other rocks and gems. A hoard that he keeps in a corner is piled high with bloodstones, and he protects it vigilantly. He has a no-nonsense attitude and doesn't really like to play or frolic, but lives and breathes the thrill of the hunt. At night, he takes to the skies and will zero in on his quarry with startling accuracy. Stellar Equestrian Grace, a female Horse Dragon, has been watching him in hopes of improving her own hunting skills.
