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.

Landflight's Challenge is widely-known amongst certain Horse dragons who enjoy spreading rumors and gossip. He is better known as Landflight's Challenge's executioner due to a tweak in the rumors that speak of his brutal methods to kill those who fail to complete the challenge. Even so, these are just rumors as he is the challenge itself. Thus, his name, technically, is Landflight. What this challenge truly is remains unknown to the Horse dragons. However, due to the name Landflight, it is heavily assumed that it is to challenge and push yourself to the limit with both flying and running. As for the truth, Landflight is to race you, and his name has nothing to do with the challenge, except perhaps the part of flying and running. This is a secret few know. After the widespread rumors, there was nothing to do about it. Landflight's challenge, after years of rumors, is nothing close to the simple test of speed that it actually is.
