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.

Shamku is a very fierce guardian. He protects all of his eggs with his shield-like tail. He will stand his guard, and attack people, but if you calmly come up, he may accept you, or he will attack you with his tail... its probably best you stay away, and not take any chances.<br/>He likes to stay in the cave most of the time. He was never been used to the sunlight, and it sometimes hurts his eyes in broad daylight. He likes to stay in the back of the cave too.
