These elegant creatures are considered the royalty of horses. Their slender bodies, height, and draped feathers are adored throughout the world. In the past some worshiped them, kept them as pets, and others hunted them for their horns which contain nutrients for medicine and feathers to wear as decoration. Now days, they are shown off for their beauty and horns are only allowed to be collected after they decease. Those in the wild live peacefully and stay in herds from 5 to 25 roaming in their territory. They do have behaviors of both carnivores and herbivores, along with high intelligence. Their feathers are used as camouflage in the wild, and also for mating. Galingales are well known for being affectionate and playful, especially mares, though they tend to be over-protective with their young. Now days, you can see these creatures just about anywhere in the world, but attempting to see them in their natural habitat can be quite the challenge.

Neara Permanent - Mods can post 10 adopts per month.
- Guest Artists are only around for 4 weeks and can post 15 adopts.
- Staff are allowed 3 customs a year.
- GA may receive 1 common custom.
Very Rare or a coat not listed takes 2 custom slots.
- You must have been registered for at least 3 months and have made at least 200 posts for ownership rights. There is no limit to the number of striders you can own. You can apply for more than one but you will only win one per 3 weeks.
- Galingale mares have 4 breeding slots and stallions have 6 slots. The parents of the foal will be shown on its first post. Mares have less slots because pregnancy takes a tole on their bodies.
- In order to breed a strider you need to find a suitable mare and stallion to breed together. You need permission to breed from both owners in the from of a 'screenshot' (if you own both this is un-needed). Once you've done this you need to check to see if there are any breeding artists open to design your foal. Please do not pester artists about when they will open; this is done on their own time.
- Only gender and one other feature are allowed to be requested when ordering a breeding.
- It is up to you to keep track of breeding! If it is found that a mare or stallion has had too many foals then the newest foals will be deleted until it is back down to 4/6; breeding slots to the other will be returned.
- Foals can be bred 3 months after creation date.
- Galingales can only breed to their own specie, and only male to female naturally.
- Do not claim the species or make your own, this is a closed species.
- Do not claim an adopt if you are not the owner.
- Do not ask for a custom or to be staff.
- Selling, trading, or gifting is not allowed. If you no longer want your galingale strider, please inform me by PM.
- Do not ask for artist contests, I will choose to do these when I see fit.
- Please be polite to everyone! No whining, begging, or guilt others.
- Do not alter the structure of the adoption form (centering, coloring, decorating, etc) or add extra info to it.
Modified forms will be ignored. (This rule applys to all adopts unless in that competition the rules say you can.) - Do not copy designs or create similar species to striders, will be considered as art theft. This always means no transferring a design to another species if you decide to leave/decease your strider.
- I reserve the right to re-adopt galingale striders from those that are banned permanently, as well as those who become in-active on CS for 2 years and don't mention saying anything about what happens with their striders.
- Do not draw them any other way besides as this specie.
- If you want to add items to your strider, you will need to make your own image; no "adding" to oekaki is allowed.
