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.

Skajeria is brave but kind, nothing can stop her from doing something she thinks is just. However, at the least, this can lead to her being stubborn, and at worst can put her life in danger. She tends to put her own needs last to care for her clan mates, and would probably sell her life and soul for her mate, Garnogor. Though Garnogor has a secluded and emotional nature, Skajeria somehow still finds a way to love him. Skajeria has only been able to keep two of her eggs so far; because there seems to be a mischievous, angry or vengeful dragon stealing her beloved children for unknown purposes. Even her two remaining hatchlings, Daezorva and Gavlobar, report that they've seen blood red eyes when they walk alone at night. However, until some suspects are singled out, neither of them are truly safe.
