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.

As a horse dragon, Violy was always interested in wild horses. He would go galloping near them, but they all gave him a strange look, like they were scared and confused of Violy's weird look. He would get sad, if they started to shun him, but usually they would just run faster. Little do they know, that Violy is faster than them, but he isn't a pursuer. When horses start to whine, thinking Violy will eat them, he flies off. He was told that he would be better of with dragons, not with horses, but he doesn't listen. He feels that he belongs with horses but has to be the white crow.
