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.

Riverjumper is so named because Dragon Mirror discovered him (and his species!) while walking to the cave. She was passing a stream when she heard a splash and turned to defend herself. It turned out to be RJ--he had been following her from the Cavernae, hoping to join her brood. His gorgeous, rippling purple hide makes for a very soft bed for Mit'ara and Mit'ora.
