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.

Riverow loves the thrill of the hunt, the earth thundering under her hooves, the wind beneath her wings, the play of her muscles under her skin. The kill itself is more like an afterthought to her. Her most successful hunts are those where she works together with other members of the clan, driving the prey in front of her until it's exhausted and another one jumps in to claim the actual kill. She never fights over the best part of the meat, satisfied with any parts that get awarded to her. The hunt, not the result, are the important part after all.
