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.

Donsainga Hoofang is one of the oldest bachelors still breaking hearts within the clan. While he has settled down twice with two different females, he was never happy being held down and having family duties. For a long time now he has had relationships with many young females, but always broke it off before it got too serious.

He has a strong and long running rivalry with Zip Dustclaw, ever since Zip became the leader of the Messenger dragons. Donsainga had also been vying for the position, but his habit of going off to do his own thing at inconvenient times meant he was not suitable, no matter how fast he could deliver the mail.

Donsainga has been retired from delivering mail for a long time, and spends most of his time away from the clan, leaving for weeks at a time to just run through the forests and be free.
