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.

Umaril is named after the myth of an ancient king of old. This king, commonly known as Umaril the Unfeathered, conquered many lands throughout the course of his lifetime and was known for his golden armor. Umaril was an evil king; he enslaved the human population and was a cruel and unjust leader. He was eventually overthrown by eight powerful knights. Some say that Umaril still haunts this world, waiting to take revenge...

Oddly enough, Umaril the Unfeathered is nothing like Umaril the Water Horse. She is female, has nothing golden about her, and is playful, sweet, and loving.
