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.

Graywall spends all of her day in the cave, guarding the entrance and the hatchlings. She also spends a lot of time side by side with her mate Hivoir. Because she does not go away from the cave, she does not know much about the outside world, and has become a little bit narrow-minded. She is afraid of what is different and thus blocks the access to the cave to everybody she does not know. Archimage the knowledgeable tried to make her interested in other things but the only result he gets is a spank from the large shield of Graywall. She does her job of guardian, and she does it well: that is the only thing she is really interested in.
