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.

She is named after a famous horse. Burgoo is a real sweetheart, much like her brother, Foal. She always tries to keep a positive outlook and listens well to her mother's fantasized ramblings. She believes a lot of her philosophies about luck, fate, and destiny, but, unlike her mother, Burgoo is very open to other ways of thinking. Burgoo is extremely curious. She loves anything new: new places, new dragons, new animals, anything new she can find. She tends to be very nosey and shoves her snout into places she probably shouldn't. She's been known to snoop around where she isn't wanted, which is a problem because she can't keep a secret to save her own life. Burgoo loves conversation. She's friendly with everyone she meets, even dragons that seem dangerous to her. She believes that everyone is a stranger until you say "Hi" to them. So, she ends up saying "Hi" a lot around her home. Her siblings tend to leave her alone, they don't bully her the same way they do Foal.
