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.

Hockney loves to run, because she can forget about the past and look to the present. When she was younger, she was abandoned and taken care for by her present owner. As a hatchling, when playing, she injured her wing so much that she couldn't fly for a whole month. Nowadays, she prefers to glide for short distances than fly long ones. Her best friend is Hydrahok partly because they grew up together.
