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.

Not a Nintendo DS was considered to be crazy as a hatchling. She was always talking about things that didn't exist. After some evaluations by the two white dragons (Heal Tinsel and Snow 'Healing' White) it was determined that her mom's odd ability had mutated and caused Not a Nintendo DS to randomly see and live in other dimensions very briefly. As she's gotten older she has learned to control it and has earned a place on the war council of the dragon raisers as she has seen many fights in many dimensions.
