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.

Farvardin is a wise old dragon, and one of the oldest dragons. He and his mate, Taika, have failed to produce eggs as of yet, but they are hoping to in the near future.<br/>Farvardin is a kind, gentle soul who always helps the other dragons in the cave, regardless of their age or attitude. He is like a father to almost every dragon; even Tempest doesn't snap at him often. Farvardin is old, but his body is still strong. He would die to protect the other dragons.
