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.

Palamor is a waterhorse dragon and cares a lot for the keeper of his scroll. He likes being around others—humans, dragon oder any living thing. Most of the time Palamor lives in the waters belonging to his keepers property and spends the days scaring small fishes or drifting with the streaming of the rivers.

He only leaves his familiar environment if his keeper asks him to do so but if he then dares to laugh friendly about Palamor's awkward movements at land, the waterhorse dragon rushes back into the sea splashing around with water until his keeper is completely soaked.
