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.

Tall and brawny, Fullback is serious about her job and wears a steely expression, but during off-hours, she's jovial and prone to groanworthy, childish jokes. A friendly slap on the shoulder from her tends to knock smaller dragons over. Although she is one of many guardian dragons around, she endeared herself to the locals with her cheerful attitude and energetic limb-stretching exercises, which look like funny dances.
