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.

Flisster is a bit of a strange dragon. While usually belonging to a rather typical archetype of her species, some of her habits can be quite odd. In the morning, every morning, she will spend hours swimming in circles at a different point in the bottom of her pool each day, only to then move her nest to the opposite end. Some days this is repeated in the afternoons and even in the middle of the night. She is rarely seen above the surface.
