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.

Analu, like many Guardian Dragons, serves as the guard of the eggs and hatchlings of the  Odd clan. He's perfectly okay with this; he enjoys his role, and believes that he is one of the most critical members of his clan. Still, he longs for a life outside of his guardian duties, and hopes to find a suitable mate one day, with a unique linage like he has (Analu is descended from Sweetlings and Hellfire Wyverns among other things, as well as Guardian dragons. He finds this linage to be rather intriguing).
