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.

Fishery lives near a community of humans who live off the sea. Fascinated by the strange creatures, he like coming to shore where they pet and admire him.

   One day, some of the humans were in a boat that overturned nearby him; he swam over and let them climb onto his back. One of them had a net with some fish in it and shared the fish with him. Once Fishery understood that they used the nets to catch fish, he swam with them to a large school of fish and had them cast their nets from his back. The humans were delighted with the great haul they got as a result.

   Now Fishery lets them ride out to fish on his back once every few days. The village is more prosperous and considers him their good luck dragon.
