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.

Onekyh'skold is like a sphinx when she is guarding the eggs her human trainer brings into the fold.  She will sit so still, she looks like a statue.  However, whenever any predators or other unwelcome guests come too close, she springs into action and the threat is eliminated post-haste.

She's a quiet dragon, but not shy.  She's very observant, and will sometimes give advice to other dragons in her trainer's fold who need it.  For example, she noticed how Dorse Code quietly pined for Indigo Fyre.  She encouraged Dorse to go talk to Indigo.
