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.

My Guardian Angel is a young dragon. However, she's covered in scars from abuse as a hatchling. She was tied to a tree just two minutes before death. Luckily, within a few moments, she was discovered by a young girl. The girl quickly nurtured the hatchling back to health and the hatchling quickly grew wings and matured. Now My Guardian Angel can only be found either by the girl's side or in a cluster of other dragons as she is easily frightened by her horrible past.
