>From WBRM:

"The Dragontooth Runners were a gift to Argrath from an Ancestral Dragon, and were normally kept in a pouch at the Prince's side. Whenever desired the units appear next to the prince and after they are slain they reappear if Sartar is allied to a living Dragon. They do not count in stacking and may reflect a bad magical attack uopn the sender."

Interpreting that and the counter stats it would appear they are lightly equiped infantry with a strong resistance to magic. I'd go for a human figure with a strong draconic appearence but you could go for a dragonnewt or even the bizarre product of a dragon's dream.

>From a game point of view they should have fun abilities like
moving through friendly units, reappearing when killed and if the possibility of reflecting magical attacks back onto their attackers.
