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.

Alpha Star has been the honorary mascot to the Alpha Company since his birth. A rambunctious and fun and loving dragon, he epitomizes the cadets he leads. It is Star's chief duty to make sure that not only does he protect his cadets but he teaches them well. To the 46 cadets of this company, it is their business to defeat the BRAVO Company in every aspect but strangely enough, Star has a special place in his heart for the BRAVO Company mascot, Purple Blobs. The two continue to be best friends and even share places next to each other on their caretaker's scroll.
