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.

Eris Cyr, 37th named of the clan. With Lillith lurking in the shadows of the clan, Lady Nerruse was quick to agree when the Elders asked her to find another guardian. Nerruse did, and disaster was averted when Lillith nearly snuck off with the guardian's egg. She was stopped by Agitation, who chased her almost to the islet where the fractious trio had been exiled. Eris is a serious dragon, known for her strength and skill. She has a deep hatred for Lillith and has declared, more than once, that one day they will meet in battle and only one of them will survive. Her obsession with the vampire, while understandable, troubles the other guardians greatly.
