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.

Skytrotter is a serious and fairly stoic individual, who rarely communicates more than he needs to or shows much in the way of emotion. As such, he tends to come across as cold and unkind. Some of the hatchlings even find him outright intimidating. In reality, he simply prefers to listen and observe the world around him rather than jump into the thick of things. The one exception to this is in the field of hunting, which he is adept at and will join in with gusto. Skytrotter unfortunately bears some frustration toward Sparkdance, whose whimsical acrobatics have interfered with his hunts on a couple of occasions.
