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.

Loyalty is a Guardian dragon and she is very loyal(obviously). She had a bad case of softshell, but survived and hatched into a healthy hatchling under her owner's care. When her owner is sick, and unable to feed Loyalty, instead of going and finding her own food, Loyalty stays and takes care of her owner. Loyalty enjoys giving her owner rides, but is very protective, and will not fly her owner higher than ten feet in the air.
