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.

Icewater Defeat was named while the pack was experiencing a major depression, and close to suffering defeat from vicious rival roaming packs. But fortunately, the dragon and his pack made it through. It was a very changing time in his life, and it made him outgoing and happy, to cheer his other dragons up. It caught on in his personality, and eventually it became who he was. Walking on the rough lake water, he met a water dragon that became on of his best friends, Water Wishes. Now the two are unable to be apart and they constantly gossip about their never ending adventures.
