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.

Sir 5pam as most Guardian dragons is a stalwart protector of those in need, young and old alike. He was excited when he was given an opportunity to mate and has produced several healthy hatchlings. When the mint dragon, Hugo Shardborne, was a hatchling he sought out Sir 5pam for protection. Amused by this, Sir 5pam 'protected' the mint from everything. However, the mint did not grow out of his extreme shyness so now Hugo spends the majority of his time hiding behind Sir 5pam.
