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.

GuardianOfDeath is a very dark Guardian Dragon. He thinks of how close to the line he puts his life every day. He is one of the Guards of AllWeapon; in charge of keeping his cave safe from an evil Red queen called AllWeapon. She is kept in a magically induced sleep in a magical box, but she is still a danger to the cage. She is only woken up to help defeat armies of humans or wild dragons. GuardianOfDeath is somewhat fascinated with death; fascinated with all the ways to die, with the different sorts of torture, and with all the stages of decomposition to the body. He is sometimes called a "Marrow Guardian" because he is often seen around dead, rotting corpses. He doesn't eat them though, he just wants to study them.
