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.

Yobidashi's mother is a Gold Dragon, and as such, he's developed a latent fascination with glittery objects that possess a golden shine. He'll still go running with the other Horse Dragons in the clan and hunt for prey smaller than a Gold Dragon's usual fare, but Yobidashi can't help but wonder if there's something he's missing out on by not having been born the same breed as his mother. He's taken to wearing a small golden chain around one of his forelegs, to remind himself that he doesn't need to be completely gold to be happy.
