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.

Voromire, although he is not an old dragon by any right, is one of the most thoughtful and considerate dragons of the nest. He broods over the eggs his human picks up occasionally from nowhere when the human is away, and loves to feel each of the eggs between his wings for the warmth it contains. He especially likes touching eggs that have fully developed hatchlings inside, since he feels more intimate with the little creatures that way. His especial liking for the little ones earn a great deal of laughs, especially from the older female dragons, but he does not reply except with an occasional wave of his shield-like tail.
