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.

Squirrel's Ridiculous Friend was the first of many Ridiculous dragons. As soon as he hatched from his egg it was clear that he was destined to be ridiculous as he would often spend time outside of the cave, playing with the squirrels. The other dragons thought him to be absolutely ridiculous, and thus he was named. Not too long after he'd grown a silly little frill dragon began following him around. She would jump into the trees, and soon began acting like a squirrel herself. Squirrel's Ridiculous Friend was amused by her, but she annoyed the other dragons in the cave as they could not do anything with her. It was soon decided that she would be his mate and she was dubbed Ridiculous Mad Squirrel. The two spend lots of time together, and have spread ridiculous love to others and hope to have many more ridiculous squirrel children. When he is not with Ridiculous Mad Squirrel, which is rare, he likes contemplate the mysteries to life and guards the nest while the others are out hunting.
