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.

Toraskah is a small guardian dragon with an unusually large tail shield.  Recognized early for her graceful control and strong protective abilities, Toraskah quickly slipped into the roll of watching over vulnerable hatchings and eggs.  Though she is generally very quiet, when left alone Toraskah has been caught playing happily with her small adopted siblings.  She seems to enjoy lifting them up on her large shield tail and carting them about the nest, keeping them safe while indulging their desires to play and experience the world.
