Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

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.

KanshiGosha, short for "Kanshi suru Gosha", meaning "Protector Gosha", is the first full grown dragon to be owned by Shadow0B. Being the first full grown dragon owned, part of her name should be the name of the clan (The Gosha Clan), and lead the clan. She originally was aiming for the role of the clans protector throughout her childhood, training in defensive skills. She was commonly isolated, but would protect other hatchlings.

But since KanshiGosha is female, she's unable to lead the clan, even though the clan is named after her, since a male has to lead the clan. After careful decision, she finally chose Minto Ano Minto Ryu, a small mint dragon, as her mate.
