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 Acting Ensign is a young, charismatic dragon who idolizes Claw of Fighting Tiger. She spends most of her days trying to weasel battle lessons from the seasoned warrior. When she isn't begging for training, she is playing with the hatchlings of the cave. She has a very strong, motherly instinct to protect all of the eggs and young dragons she comes across, and every-dragon agrees that she would make a great mother.
