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.

Tortilla is very charismatic and all the dragons admire him, especially the girls. However, the one girl he fell in love with fails to notice him. Xalvadora. Tortilla has admired her for years, because of her big heart and fondness of children. But no matter what Tortilla tries he can never seem to get her attentions. Maybe it's because she's always watching over her eggs or playing with the village children, or maybe she's just ignoring him. Even though Xalvadora hasn't noticed him yet, Tortilla won't give up. He has recently talked to her, and a friendship is building. Along with that friendship Tortillas feelings for her are growing stronger. Maybe their is hope for them, Tortilla certainly hopes so!
