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.

Liriko Saren is part of Alisarin's clan, and likes to remain quiet. She does not like to get into fights, but if any dragon approaches Alisarin with any aggression, Liriko will go into a fierce, fighting frenzy, unwilling to back down until the other dragon submits completely. Needless to say, most dragons don't try. Liriko bears her fair share of scars, but no ill will towards others. In fact, she can often be seen playing with her new clan member, Thilia Saren.
