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.

Embedded's approach to everything is to do them to the best of his ability while acting like he's being forced to participate at knifepoint, even activities considered fun by his cohorts. They find it amusing when he maintains or attempts to maintain a sour attitude while doing things that require a more emotive approach, such as cheering someone up. Embedded does have a positive outlook and enjoys games, but he seems determined to be grumpy for whatever reason. He has a peculiar antipathy for paper boxes.
