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.

Dwanh was found as an egg; he was abandoned on a ledge outside the main cave. His name means "to run". Very true to his name, Dwanh has been running all his life. He tends to solve most problems by leaving them behind. His great thundering hooves have been heard as the end of many an argument. Dwanh dislikes conflict, and will actively try to avoid it.
