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.

Shelta is one of the 4 Elders of this family along with Aeri102, Crystal Whirlpool and GoldenChoas. Even though Shelta is the first egg Starfish102 obtained but Shelta matured last therefore made Shelta the 4th and last member of the Elders. Elders are respected by the rest of the family and considered wise thus young hatchlings often study under one of the elders to gasp the full meaning of the world before they fully mature.
