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.

There was once a knight named Sir Dragonet, jester to a famous king. Sir Dragonet named himself after this knight. He loves bad puns and practical jokes (which sometimes get him in trouble—as it turns out, unexpectedly tipping water over the Hellfire Wyvern is not a very good idea). Still, he is the stalwart defender of the other dragons, and despite their frequent protestations to the contrary none of them actually want him to fall into a volcano and die.
