That Latin you learned. Wanna deploy it? What would the equivalent of equestrian be for dragons? Dracostrian? Looking at the root equester.

That looks plausible. What does the middle bit refer to? equester was genetive.
-
eques, horseman -> equester, belonging to a horseman
-
i tried to figure out what someone who went from "equus" horse to "eques" horseman would do with "draco"
-
to get to dragonrider
-
Oh, right. But equester is how we get to equestrian. At least that's what ye olde etymology dictionaries tell me.
-
sure, i just elided that step but it's in there equus : eques : equester : equestrian :: draco : draces : dracester : dracestrian
-
Awesome! Thank you. I know zero latin.
-
i just have a dilettante occultist's Latin, not like Fade over there, but i'm pretty okay at replaying a linguistic pattern recontextualized
