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.

Guardian of Unity's name is actually just Unity, but he is always called "Guardian" when addressed formally. He was separated from his parents when he was young, and he quickly learned to fend for himself. Unity is now the protector of the Cmo tribe(the tribe all of Cmodude's dragons live in), and takes his job seriously. He is always kind, and is always protective of eggs or hatchlings.  He is respected by the rest of the dragons in the tribe.
