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.

Accolan is a fast runner and a swift flyer.  Accolan uses his speed on both  ground and air to avoid trouble and danger and get to his destination as quickly as possible.  The other dragons consider Accolan to the be best messenger there is.  They will willingly entrust him with their most important messages to other caves because they know that Accolan will get the job done.
