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.

Ashinami likes to challenge himself when he runs. While he enjoys the freedom of finding a long stretch of empty land and just sprinting forward with nothing to stop him, he thinks obstacles keep things exciting. Sometimes he'll challenge himself to get from one place to another while traveling in a straight line and staying as close to the ground as possible. Other times he'll find some rocky hills to climb. No matter where he decides to run for the day, Ashinami always feels great when he's covered a lot of ground and learned the lay of the land.
