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.

Equine Dorkface comes from a long proud lineage that sadly for her, just happens to be called Dorkface. When the other dragons hear what her name is, they tend to fall into a fit of giggles. She seems to be the only one who realizes just how proud and dignified her lineage is, other then her twin sister. Because they are so often teased about their names, the Dorkface twins keep to themselves. Equine looks down on the other dragons that laugh at her as uneducated and menial. Considering the jibes and insults the other dragons have thrown at her, perhaps this attitude is justified. If Equine Dorkface allowed all the insults to get at her, she would be miserable and depressed. The only real way for her to survive them is to imagine that all other dragons are somehow inferior and mistaken. Although her viewpoint makes her impossible to get along with, she does not lack companionship. She and her twin are inseparable.
