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.

Stormtrotter flaunts herself as the greatest dragon to ever live, especially when her lineage comes into question. She regularly adopts abandoned hatchlings, teaching them to sing her praise before they learn to fly. "She can outrun the storms themselves, they can only wish to follow in her stride." "When she passes by all you can see is a glimpse of silver and gold. Some say it's the Shimmer in her." Anyone who tries to wake her from her fantasies will be brushed off as jealous, or if they're male, as a failed attempt to court her. As a mate she'll only accept the finest treasure hoard as a courting attempt and the dragon themselves must be cut from the purest lineage. Some males have attempted to woo her without knowing who she was besides a pretty face, though almost always receive a lesson on how she's the result of six generations of perfection and how they would need a kingdom's treasury to make her take a second glance.
