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.

Fortis Blue PaddingFoot, the son of Dulcis Blue PureWaterhorse and Fortis Speckled PureWaterMagic is a very sweet dragon. However, he is often sad since he feels like everything he wants he can't have. Because he hasn't reached breeding age yet, like all underage grown dragons in the Fortis clan, he is separated from the Dulcis clan. He longs to see his mother, because he can't remember anything about her. He is self-conscious about how he always slides around on land and ends up falling, so he doesn't come out of the water very often. He doesn't talk to his father much, and he blames his separation from his mother on him.
