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.

Protecting Guards is a wandering protecting dragon. She enjoys taking long flights(She can often be seen high in the sky during all weather) and assisting the weak. She demands no rewards or recognition but is still widely known among the poor and weak for her deeds. She is generally kind-hearted and generous but has what some might call a "split personality". In battle, Protecting Guards turns ruthless and unforgiving. She attacks viciously and thrives on the adrenaline. She does not have any ties to any dragon or human but likes to visit her sometime-mate and old friend, Guardian Protection. She is often described as a freelance.
