Right in the heart of things, where our story and shop begins, are the Mountain Godar dragons. They are the most basic of all Godar dragons, possessed of long, straight horns, a long, flowing mane, and elbow tufts that appear during the teen years. No long teeth, no short ears, no long incisors, no curved horns, just a simple predator as the Godar dragons go. They are the most wolf-like of all Godar dragons in build. A fully grown Mountain Godar dragon is the same height at the shoulder as a Shetland pony, about 3.5 feet tall.
Theirs is a world of evergreen forests, high mountains, and rugged foothills, as well as rushing rivers and grassy meadows. Mountain dragons can live almost anywhere they choose to live, but prefer the Orxlo Mountains and the foothills below.

All Godar dragons have a strongly social nature, and many dragons live in packs. The exact structure and dynamic of the pack varies from pack to pack, but the packs are, by-and-large, of an equine/canine stripe, consisting of leaders, youths, and adults who live within a certain territory that they call home. Mating practices vary by pack and by individual as well, though not a few packs of Godar dragons state preferences for monogamy. Monogamy is neither exclusive to the packs, nor is it true that all packs practice monogamy. It is merely a trend. In addition, exclusive to the Mountain dragons and their area, packs of Mountain dragons are often a blend of Mountain and other types of dragons, depending on region.
Hunting among Godar dragons is, surprisingly, frequently done either solo or with one or two other dragons, with other dragons as partners being the preferred mode of hunting. Mountain dragons are also sometimes gifted swimmers, due to some webbing between their toes, and even the least talented swimmer is fond of swimming.
Godar dragons do not hibernate in winter. They don't really see the point in sleeping for three months straight, and except for the Northern dragons, it simply does not get cold enough in the winters, which are not harsh enough, to elicit hibernation.
Mountain dragons exhibit the most basic of all magics: dream-seeing, healing, storm-seeing, and ghost-speaking. Depending on a Mountain dragon's ancestry, they may have other magic exclusive to another sort of Godar dragon, but this is very rare.

What is true of the Mountain diet often goes at least partially for the other types of Godar dragon. Godar dragons hunt cervids and catch fish as the environment dictates, though as with all, they will settle for small mammals when times get tough or that's what can be caught. Mountain dragons hunt deer and fish for salmon and trout almost all year round. Winters are not the kindest for the fish, at least above the snowline, so those above the snowline generally do not have fish in the wintertime. Occasionally, elk will be eaten, but that depends on whether or not elk is available. Generally, it is not available.
