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.

Aminta was egg one in generation A of the hoard. Aminta is a Greek name meaning "defender."

Aminta was rightfully named. As her species might suggest, she is a protective thing.

As soon as KitsuchiTenu brought home generation B, Aminta was by their sides. Once they hatched, she chased them about herding them back behind the shield on her tail. Even once their wings grew, she refused to give up, curving them away from strong winds and cranky Hellfire Wyverns.
