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.

Guardian Shen is one of the first dragons stolen in the group. He is very protective (of course!) and sometimes too proud of himself. Shen usually protects the eggs and makes sure everyone visits it in order for it to survive. He's alert and might be short-tempered. As a hobby, Shen enjoys flying through the forest playing inside caves or trees. If he is bred, Shen wants to see someone who is aware of their appearances (he stays away from Creamlink) and social feelings. Someday, he could be the Guardian of hundreds of dragons.
