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.

Chofashi the first daughter of Adonavad and Imoka, two of the most obedient dragons possessed by the Dragon Riders of Olemach.  The breeders expected her to carry the traits of her parents, but they couldn't have been more wrong.  Ever since she met her intended rider, Soren, she has bickered with him and made his life as difficult as possible.  Chofashi makes it very clear that she is the one in control, often causing lots of difficulty for Soren and causing him to be reprimanded for not "keeping his mount under control."  However, Soren has also begun to develop a grudging respect for his high-spirited dragon, and they may one day make a true team.
