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.

The ever compassionate guardian of those in need, she has helped save countless dragons. A noble soul, she will protect the eggs and hatchlings with her life, for her brother was stolen as an egg. She and her father were away at the time and her mother never truly got of the loss of her son. Elidean held a grudge over humans until her brother, fully grown and healthy, came to visit. She now attends to her mother's eggs vigilantly, and tries to find a life-mate.
