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.

Slitherdusk is definately an attention hog. Above all else, she loves it when humans come and pet her in the shallows of her saltwater lake. Usually, the highlight of her day is making children laugh by splashing them with water, then giving them rides on her back. Slitherdusk is a gentle dragon, and is quite the favorite of humans of all ages. Slitherdusk had a son named Slitherdawn. Each were quite fond of each other, but Slitherdawn preferred to dive deeper, leaving his mother in loneliness.
