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.

Hogosharyu was born to an Aristocratic family. This dragon had always had the life of luxury since birth. This can be explained through a process in which the dragon: once hatched from the egg, they choose their owner, by this boy. Of course the father of the boy had payed money for such a thing to happen, so his boy would not be let down, as he had been looking towards this moment for years. So Hogosharyu was exposed to the boy and only the boy so that he may become attached to him as his life partner. The boy and Hogosharyu has been together since that day.
