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.

Puddles is very calm and slow, and she doesn't talk much. That is almost completely opposite from her friend, Neo Wings (A neotropical dragon), who is always racing around, acting like a whiptail. Puddles seems to have a charisma that calms dragons and people down when they are around her. (Which is very helpful for Neo Wings.) When Puddles is happy, she starts to shine more green then blue.
