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.

Boldoak is not too talkative, but enjoys watching the little hatchlings play, and enjoys talking to her friend, Lady Merewen. She is quiet most of the time, and when she does say something, its a riddle. She is always so serious, Lady Merewen thinks she should loosen up, have some fun. But, Boldoak is a stubborn dragon, and believes a guardian dragon is not to be off her guard. So she keeps on guarding, no matter what Lady Merewen says.
