Waterhorse Dragons received their name due to their horse-like physique and endearing behavior. They are capable of surviving out of water, and when on land their skin secretes a gelatinous goo to retain moisture. However, their large paddle feet are better suited for swimming, and waterhorse dragons tend to move very awkwardly when on land. Waterhorses are very friendly dragons and enjoy playing with humans.

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.

One day when she was but a hatchling, she heard of a story that included a boy and something called "Meeshee". The story intrigued her, so she decided to listen to the whole story. The next morning after that day, she started to "Meeshee" (she didn't say much as a hatchling since she snunk out of the cave to play in the water) when she answered questions given by the other dragons. Mystic (since she was the only one to be able to speak the human language) noted this to their human, who in turn liked the word "Meeshee". So it was then decided by the Elder Dragons, this Waterhorse dragon was to be named Meeshee Neon (the Neon part came from the lanterns that were glowing as they descended into the sky).
