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.

For her entire life, all Alastronia has known is to defend the weak. As all the other hatchlings became unwell, she was right in front of them, going so far as to keep her ground even as she started to succumb to the sickness.

She still grew up to be an exceptional guardian, and still spends most of her time watching over all the eggs and hatchlings, as well as being overly protective of the ones she watched grow up. Her mate is Attakatakoop.
