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.

Baron Von Varon never moves more than a few feet during the days when he doesn't hunt. Instead of thriving with his own dragon brethren, Baron matured and galloped with the wild horses in the Starus Plains. However, he certainly realized that he was different the moment when he realized that grass was disgusting to him and that meat was his true drive. The first time he galloped and took flight to catch several birds in the sky to chow down on, the horses of the Starus Plains hightailed it out of the area to get away from "the freak".

Ever since, Baron has been forced to live alone and hunt by himself. Even though the horse dragons have lived outside his doorstep for his entire life, none of them have made an effort to make contact with this lost brother. Day by day, Baron grudgingly and lazily wanders around his rather small territory and awaits the day he makes friends again.
