Ive alwys thought the dragonship has either wheels or skid that it slides over the sand on, like in sand skiing. The reason it looks like a boat is because it is armor for the ship.

As for Gypceros I think it could be an electric arc caused be a pezioelectric crystal in its crest. Electric arcs are very bright, and give off large amounts of UV as well, so if a gypceros flashed you a lot you could get sunburn. Examples of electric arcs are welding, where you have to wear a facemask so your eyes dont melt.
