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.

Ducadeion's lovely mate, Morgause of Darkness, is his life. His whole world revolves around those he loves, and he only wishes that he didn't see his cavemates and friends losing sight of their true loves. Many a dragon in the cave has bred with a relative or is inbred.

But this dragon can be a fierce warrior. Many of his skills were learned from Morgause, who never hesitates to defend those she loves.
