gollark: ```Coffeehorse Dragons received their name due to their horse-like physique and endearing behavior. They are capable of surviving out of coffee, and when on land their skin secretes a gelatinous goo to retain caffeine. However, their large paddle feet are better suited for swimming, and coffeehorse dragons tend to move very awkwardly when on land. Coffeehorses are very friendly dragons and enjoy playing with humans.```
gollark: Er, coffeehorse.
gollark: Just get a coffeedragon! They produce a sleep-reducing field.
gollark: Possibly. When's the time limit on that?
gollark: There's someone on the trade hub with a tan ridgewing asking for, inexplicably, *high* time egg offers.
