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.

Kashikan is a strong, yet somewhat impassive dragon. He can usually be found alone, in the back of the cave. He has no friends, and hunts alone, but is really attached to his owner. Without her, he might have grown up in the Wilderness. But he sometimes wishes that he had grown up under his own mother's wing instead of Ohooria's (she's wonderful but gets sidetracked easily), even though he would never admit it. Even so, Kashikan is quite loyal. He is a dragon of few words who would risk his life for those of his 'friends'.
