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.

Battle hardly does much battling at all, probably because she doesn't guard anything worth battling over. She guards a tree. She doesn't even guard THE trees, she just guards one specific tree, whom she has named "Lulu". Day and night; she will sit by the tree, never getting up to leave, not even for food. It is unknown how she feeds. No persuasion, trickery or bribing can ever get her away from "Lulu". Any offers to do so will result in her reciting the same sentence.

"No thank you, I am currently waiting for Lulu."

Some suspect Battle is simply bored, others mad. But exactly what compels her to wait on the ever-unmoving tree is unknown; she simply does.
