This breed of dragon was thought to exist only in legend. Although their name varies between cultures, they are often referred to as “Guardians of Nature.” They are able to channel the forces of fire, ice and lightning, which allows them to wield tremendous power. Seen very rarely, it is thought that they only become active when something is threatening the territory they have chosen to guard. In order to protect their chosen home, these dragons are incredibly adaptable; they have been seen everywhere from remote mountain ranges, to ancient forests, to the darkest depths of the ocean.

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.

Behold, seeker of the Dragon lore, Loce aldava pitya. Although he seems to be a dragon, he was not created by Melkor. The Elves, who called him the Guarding Dragon of the Leetle Tree, believed him to be a creation of three Maiar in the time of the greatest peril, before Melkor could be banned. His sole purpose was to guard the forest and all its creatures against the foul beasts that the Black Foe of the World sent to destroy. It seems that he did well. The forest and all its creatures survived and the Elves praised him ever after although they hardly ever saw him. Legend has it that, when the last Elves left his forest and this world, Loce aldava pitya shed one single tear which turned into an eternal well. When the moonlight falls onto the water, they say, you can see Valinor in it.
