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.

TylerToo is a hopelessly infatuated young dragon. After seeing the deepsea dragon, Tippacanoe, she fell completely head over heels for him. She added "too" at the end of her name for the sole purpose that it would sound much better with her love. Her affections seem to be parrallel of a human teenybopper and some teen hearthrob. And much like a teen hearthorb, Tippacanoe is completly unaware of TylerToo's existence.
