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.

Grusq'x Sdrukqmex'j is a defensive, kindhearted and loyal dragon who will always protect his owner and his fellow dragons from being attacked by outsiders with his shield-like tail and sharp claws. However, he has a tendency to block trespassers from his owner's turf; he will even send them flying by whipping them hard with his tail and claws whenever he feels that they are threatening or trying to bribe him. Grusq'x also enjoys playing with his offspring and his soul mate who is a shy-looking Mint, Driomint' Vamlilnet'y.
