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.

Mar is tall dragon with a very mature personality. He often looks at the star constellations, trying his best to find and name all of them. Mar is very interested in nature, odd rock formations, and the stars.  You can find him in a tree, maybe on a mountain, watching for shooting stars, and graphs them on scraps of scrolls that may have been discarded. Mostly, though, he'll talk to  Cochitika, his mate, about the sky, they both seem to be interested in the same thing.
