Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

One of two dragons that are constantly by Red's side. This dragon doesn't necessarily have a name, often responding to the call of 'Guardian' instead. It is unknown why this particular dragon has formed such a close bond with her master, but it is an accepted fact, and is even encouraged by her Alpha, Tarkie, who believes it a wise idea to have one of his own clan-mates guarding the master, as Red is one of the more important humans connected with the clan.
